John Kelly told me in August that Elvis was 'busy' writing (everyday!) the book.
I don't have any of the reissues. But thanks to everyone who contributed, I can still read all of those liner notes at the EC wiki site. They are fantastic sources of information. As far as I can tell, there are two missing links:While this might be Costello's first official memoir, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer previously penned a 60,000-word reflection on his music and career in 2001 when Rhino reissued his 1977-1996 catalog. As Slate reported, a personal essay by Costello was packed in the liner notes of each album – 17 in all – but those reissues are long out-of-print and the essays were never officially republished.
I rather like that cover should it truly turn out to grace the book- the artist with his 'pen' and totally iconic and ironic in that one of the strongest lyrical observers of the latter half of the twentieth century when it comes to dissecting 'romance' and matters of the heart is posed within a hotel room apropos of 'unfaithfulness' as we have come to learn first hand over the decades from countless songs within his oeuvre.johnfoyle wrote:This cover -
