I think I slept 5hrs last night. I listened to alot of Elvis Costello. Jack loved him. I think he owns everything he's ever made, including a bunch of bootleg albums that he bought at Co-op Record Store back in high school. When we first started dating, I think my opinion of Elvis Costello was some sort of litmus test, whether I passed the test, for him to continue dating me....I think I passed.
I was trying to find a perfect song of his for this blog...instead, I went down memory lane, relating each song or album to events in our lives. Jack and I used to debate the merits of a particular album. I think he was more old school, while I loved some of his newer music. When Elvis and Burt Bacharach collaborated together, I was in heaven. I spent many evenings with Jack trying to point out the genius of both men.
It takes a true aficionado to love Elvis Costello, Jack was just that. I too was an aficionado...of Jack.
