"It seems like I'm treading a boundary that's too far for some people. It's not like it's never been done before. It just hasn't been done very well; I'm sorry, but I'm not responsible for Emerson, Lake and Palmer. I'm not going to be told I can't do something in collaboration with people... just because of some bad stuff that happened in the past.

Adds Costello, "I don't want people to think this is a novelty album or a crossover album. ... I've always had this feeling musicians whether they're years or miles apart in experience or doing different music have some connection.
