Why??!!

May 25, 2007

Why Elvis, my beloved Elvis, was it this? Why did you choose shilling for Lexus to be your feet of clay (assuming we forget the whole Burt Bacharach debacle)?  In this, your aim is decidedly not true.

    Oh darling. I believe that Punk Rock Is Dead. Sorry.

    Are you saying listening to Beethoven in a super-priced luxury sedan is not punk rock? Maybe so :(

    But Beethoven DID have punk rockin’ hair!

    Why??!! you cry. Because the man has a family to clothe and feed. Twins, if I’m not mistaken.

    Okay, maybe that’s not it.

    Are you afraid they’ve successfully aneesthetized the way that Elvis feels?

    When you were just a tot, I heard him in concert, a big stadium show, which was loud, but honestly, not very punk. But being Elvis Costello 20+ years later, waxing poetic and rocking out to Beethoven in a Lexus on teevee –I don’t think it gets more punk than that. The only possible exception being a middle aged church lady in a pink sweater thinking about Elvis Costello.

    Hi Charles! Very punk hair, probably punker than the male pattern baldness Elvis and I sport.

    Oh Lamb Soup, the angels wanna wear your pink sweater.
