Accidents will happen.

Hey Keith!

Rock and/or Roll.

I had a friend tell me a cute story about Elvis Costello eating his lunch alone years ago in a little college town just hours before he was supposed to be on stage. My friend and others recognized him and joined him for lunch.

Anyway, my friend told the story to illustrate how cool and "down to earth" Elvis was.

I thought, boy, all the other guys on the tour must hate the dude.

It's rare that you will ash your smoke in your friends mouth. Unless they like that sort of thing, ma'am.

Now that you're picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired
You can have anyone that you have ever desired
But they'll still tap their ash into your pie hole hole hole
Welcome to the working week....

OMFG you're. I suck.

"I, maybe unwisely, drank about 15 Pernods"

I'd say that's unwise under any circumstances. When touring with 2 punk bands, doubly so.

That is an awesome story. Love all three bands and would kill to have seen that tour.

"Woke up to find my mouth, which had obviously fallen open, (used as) an ashtray and my shoelaces on fire"

Dude, you got off light. I heard David Lee Roth once bullwhipped the drummer from Ratt after a three-day Budweiser and Pop Tart binge.

/could be true

They were just preparing him for his production session of the Pogues "Rum Sodomy and the Lash"

Is this before or after they farked a woman with a shark?

RocketRod: Accidents will happen.

Over in one.

Also... I went to the Morecambe punk fest in '05 {boyfriend was playing it} and the Damned were supposed to be there but didn't make it.

/Turbonegro were great, though

never turn your back on a drug

Yes, Elvis, and just think what they'd do if you had been wearing one of your now omnipresent scarves.

Lose the scarf. Seriously.


/Big fan.

Why do I have the sudden urge for breast milk?

Odder still: the chorus of PUMP IT UP is now in MY head....

/Yowza. Good on ya, Declan!

Wait, he says I did WHAT to his mouth?

Neat neat neat.

He's married to Diana Krall, bet those are some fun jam sessions.

I actually liked the guy before he became a hipster icon. I blame him for the destruction of Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and other parts of NYC.

You'd be cool and down to earth too if you were nailing Diana Krall. She's one of the all-time great "take me now, you savage stallion" voices there ever was.

dhudd: He's married to Diana Krall, bet those are some fun jam sessions.

Elvis, Diana, Willie Nelson.

Well they had to cover up the taste of piss and c*m somehow...and bleach seemed a bit too extreme.

See? Dont you feel better now?

What's with the contactmusic greenlights where after reading the headline there is absolutely nothing additional gained from reading the article?

I bet he would rather have been anywhere else than there that day.

Yeah so what, who hasn't had that happen to them, good times.

I literally bumped into Tom Wolfe or Kurt Vonnegut on campus one day. I can't remember which one. That shows you what fame is worth.
