Further to our alarming revelations concerning the non-photographic situation surrounding Gaz Numan (Ret.d), Jaws uncovers similar paranoia involving Elv Costello.
Our intrepid photog Justin Thomas tried repeatedly to obtain a photo pass for the Costello Rainbow bash from manager Jake Riviera who, after being unavailable for three weeks, decided there would be no passes at all, The reason for this was that Elvis (or JR) didn't want bad photos of the cause celebre passed round the press.
Nonetheless, fearless Justin, by some crafty maneuvering, managed to squeeze himself and camera into the gig at the front of the stage. After a few snaps a bouncer manhandled him and took possession of his film, threatening ejection if he didn't relinquish his box brownie. Fortunately, he had another film and managed to procure some long distance (bad?) shots of our hero. If he'd had a pass and shot from the photographers pit, the pix would've been far better and the aggravation unnecessary.
And El's so photogenic, how could a bad pic be possible?
