I was watching and as one of the few people in the USA that had actually heard Costello’s first album , at that time only available as an import,( hush , hush post vinyl generations), I was stoked that Elvis and the Attractions were to preform on my favorite TV show.
The originally scheduled band was to be the Sex Pistols…did Lorne really think they were going to play by schedule and what was asked?
I saw at once what Elvis was doing and if Micheals raised a middle finger, Costello did it first.
