My friends sang this to me whenever I got sad or cranky, and it ALWAYS made me smile. Escpecially when my friend Susan did it, and changed, "My aim is true" to "My name is Sue".
I love watching that German trailer, because it shows up about twice as big as any of the other trailers have on my computer, and somehow everything looks better.
It sounded like a really fun song in the little clip I heard - a sort of rock 'n' roll throwback. This concert will be my Elvis Costello education, as I'm somehow really unfamiliar with his work - at least in knowing what is his.
I'm really looking forward to it. I work free-lance, and the end of the job that was taking up every waking moment came just in time to see all these great one-of-kind benefits, not to mention catch all the RENT publicity.
I'm not a bad Canadian! You just weren't very clear. But, heh, Degrassi!
Speaking of Canada, Elvis Costello is married to Diana Krall, who is Canadian! They both performed songs in De-Lovely, which is one of my favourite movies. He did a good job with Let's Misbehave, and she sang Just One of Those Things.
Can't resist going into my "Elton info" mode. He loves music so much that he goes out and buys every new release every week, and does his best to help new artists that he likes. He'll buy fifty copies of a CD and give them to all his friends in the business, or tout the artist in Interview Magazine, where he has a column. Sometimes he interviews people too. He's done that for Ryan Adams and John Mayer recently.
