A diatribe on music, progressive politics, things green or whatever else is on my mind.

Elvis Costello on the Road Again!
So Elvis Costello and the Attractions are going out on tour again. This man has influenced my musical tastes and life in general in ways I cannot describe. My musical directions and taste in eye wear fashion have all been touched my Mr. McMannus. I was excited to hear about his new tour this spring. He will be bringing out the game show wheel to allow fans to spin and choose the songs the band will play. There will be other surprises as well. I have heard rumors of an onstage bar also. There will be 40 possible tunes on the wheel for the band to play. As I sit here on this overcast day here in Louisville and listen to some hot jazz featuring Barney Kessel on some A Train, I look forward to the possibilities of checking out the Elvis tour when it hits Cincinnati (the nearest venue to me). Check out his website for dates and venues in your area!
