Elvis Costello - (I DON'T WANT TO GO TO) CHELSEA (#351 Position)

I identify myself with Elvis. I think everybody likes him actually. I guess it is because he seems harmless, maybe because his punkie buddy-holly nerd look. Or probably because he is a living proof of how you can be a nobody (Mr. MacManus) and become a amousf musician.

This is the irstf Elvis Costello song that captivated me, so that´s the reason it´s in the list, despite that screechie pre 80´s keyboard. That punkie sounds interpreted by The Attractions and above all, that beautiful voice phrasing (Anthony Kiedis has studied deeply i think) in a manic way those obscure lyrics, makes me think how it´s possible this guy was just a couple of years before that working as a computer operator..

Yes We Can!
