I was just wondering if anyone has ever met Elvis Costello, and if so,
what was he like? I never have, but my concert experiences make me
wonder what he's like. I saw him for the first time in the late 70s. I
had no idea who he was and I was there by accident and although that
was when I became a huge fan, I don't count that time as to wondering
what he's like. I saw him in concert again last year at the House of
Blues in Cleveland. The place was packed and the crowd was full of
energy but he came out and said maybe three words, played one song
after the other and left without even one encore. Everyone was talking
about it after. It was very strange, but hey, we all have off days.
Maybe he didn't feel good or was just in argument or something. Who
knows. But then I saw him just recently with Allen Toussaint in
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio at Blossom and it was like night and day. He was
so talkative and smiled and laughed and played for a long time. I was
lucky enough to make it right up to the stage and had a blast. He
seemed really playful and fun. But what a huge difference between those
two concerts. It was like two different people. So, I was just
wondering if anyone has ever met him in person and knows what he's like.
