Elvis Costello Fan Forum

I think you've nailed it there, Pop2. In the song, This House is Empty Now , there's sort of a hanging bridge betweeen the phrases " ...to make you want to stay " and " ...so tell me how " that I think would be hard to catch on to if one had never experienced the haunting absence...

Will this tour include the Imposters? Elvis just keeps moving...

*whistles nonchalantly, backs out of thread*

I've made my points about the war, and I feel pretty good about it. These bloodthirsty cheerleaders over here in America are making me puke, though. They're a bunch of sick fucks, totally brainwashed, and blind because they do not want to see.

Don't get me started.

What is it about wooden shoes that gives me the creeps? These photos are terrifying!

Which part of a hooker's life were you portraying? Is that why we can't see?

Most of my car photos come from the web. I do take my own shots of certain cars, mostly at museums or shows. I'm just into old iron, the look, the nostalgia, it's fun. Sorry to hear that you can't post a photo, but I am curious as to how you were able to post an avatar. You should be able to post a ...

You're not drinking enough!

No, that's a 1957 DeSoto Adventurer. The Batmobile that was used in the old TV show was created from a Lincoln showcar from the '50's called "Futura". I believe it was the SoCal customizer Barris that did the work. No doubt I got a picture of it, somewhere. By the way, that Batmobile was &...

My friend's mother is the only one allowed to call him "Bobby". When he hears that, he's in trouble.

If you call him Robert, prepare for an arguement and possible wager, which will conclude with Bobby pulling out a folded copy of his birth certificate...

Random Dude...that's me, man! See ya around!

Yes, Harly Earl put upright taillights on the 1949 Cadillac, and the tailfin craze was born. Virgil Exner was the man who made the tailfin beautiful, after he left the Loewy studio for Chrysler, and gave them his "Forward Look": http://www.geocities.com/aropeleash/57DeSoto.jpg You could ac...

They're so ethnically diverse, yet so evenly portrayed...

I should really piss them off and write a book.

Look out, they rented a houseboat...!

Countless times I have sat through someone's suffering over the sound of my Elvis Costello collection. Watching their pain is almost as unbearable to watch as it must be to experience. Only through my study of Pha Khem have I been able to overcome the uncomfortableness of such situations.

Yes, Raymond Loewy did a lot of work for Studebaker, and he probably did the Avanti. He also designed what is now often called the "Loewy Coupe", the 1953 Studebaker. Virgil Exner worked at the Lowey firm at the time, and is rumoured to deserve the credit. This is a poor example, but I kno...

Hey, that Mead guy is pretty cool. His WTC vision is off the scale. That's what more cities need, though, a big, overwhelming monument structure. Los Angeles needs one bad. I don't know why I posted Virgils picture, I guess I was showing off. It no doubt belongs elsewhere. It's one way of finding ou...

Well, hey folks ol' Sis is down for a little vacation. She's extremely drunk, and has been for several days. She's a rolling party. The evidence of passing out is stamped on her head. She tells me I will find Jesus, and that she'll wait for me at the pearly gates. She drug along conservative friends...

I know a fellow whose name actually is"Bobby". It's what his mother named him, and it's on the birth certificate. Helluva guy.

O, that guy drew this:



His name is Virgil Exner. He designed a lot of stuff. I don't know what the Hell Ready's talking about...

By the account of <0, the Detroit show would have landed me in jail.

Iris, tell the dog if you felt oppressed. I feel a rant coming on.

Raves The Ozarks - There's absolutely nothing but hills and trees, if you're just driving through. If you get a chance to look around, it's spattered with quaint places, mills, springs, rivers. The range of wildlife is rather wide, especially if you're into birds and insects. While you can still get...
