I'm with you 100%! Costello is a rare gem in the rough. Highly articulate, never talking down to his audience, and original to the nth degree.

I recently watched the film "Grace of My Heart", a lovingly crafted tale about the heyday of the Brill Building, and all the enormously talented songwriters that emerged from its confines (King/Goffen, Bacharach/David, Carole Bayer Sager, lots of others). It was this film that first brought together the, at first glance, unlikely pairing of Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello, with delightful results. I recommend this film to anyone interested in the early days of rock and roll. Fictional, but actually a thinly disguised version of Carol King's career.
