You know when Elvis Costello started playing and
recording people looking at his clothes and his
hair and his thick black eyeglasses thought that
he was imitating singer Buddy Holly.
But my theory is that Elvis was actually emulating
pianist Alfred Brendel.
:p

:doh:
Maybe he started playing guitar before he discovered Brendel and it was too late to switch to another instrument? Another theory. :pYou know when I told my dad I was going to take up violin he told me "Why don't you get a guitar instead? Then you can, you know, play at parties."Uh huh. Right.
In which case, Elvis C. should've taken up piano and not an electric guitar. 😀
He looks like a Buddy Holly to me 😀

Those black eye-glasses are quite fashionalble at the moment. I don't get it. My son and me found out a long time ago that this particular design of eye-glasses is cursed. We call them death-glasses. Buddy Holly had them, Roy Orbison had them and also three Danish musicians and actors from about the same time. And they all died… It's a curse. Costello better be careful or he gets his ass killed at some point.
"more intelligent" eye-glasses. Seems Woody Allen such.
:D:heart:
Well I still think he looks like Alfred Brendel. :p :pI wore big black nerd glasses like that from the time I was 7 until I was 25. Then I got wire John Lennon glasses. Then a few years later contact lenses. Then the corneal replacements. It just keep getting better and better. :DYou would think that given how high-tech the Japanese and Koreans are that they would have something more cool.
By the way, how come all Chinese and Japanese youngsters have eye-glasses? Everytime I see something from China or Japan, they all have eye-glasses. Every one of them. Also when I am down town , in the tourist mecca of my city, the Chinese and Japanese young people all have eye-glasses – and big cameras.
@ Darko, I do have to agree with you, he does favor Buddy Holly. Dark hair, big dark glasses, sure match-up…Nevertheless, I like Elvis Costello…
wearing an alice-band across your eyes is cool? Who knew. :left:.
😆 Yeah, but he has a gold chain to match (not pictured).
