Date: December 25th, 2016 11:27 AM Author: copper jet-lagged sanctuary nibblets Pop singer Elvis Costello found himself in hot water today (March 15, 1979), after making racist statements about Ray Charles and James Brown.
The singer was having a drunken, conversation at a Holiday Inn, in Columbus, Ohio when he made the comments to fellow singers with Stephen Stills and Bonnie Bramlett.
Apparently, the group of musicians were engaged in a heated debate, when Costello allegedly called Ray Charles a “blind ignorant nigger,” and made unflattering comments about James Brown as well, calling the singer a “jive ass nigger.”
Little did Elvis Costello know that Bramlett, who was white and broke ground in the early 1960’s with groups like Sam & Dave, Fontella Bass, Ike and Tina Turner and others, would take the comments to press, but not before she punched Costello in the face.
A few days later, Elvis Costello apologized for the remarks. |

Armed Forces is still my favorite, Get Happy! is great too. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3471387&forum_id=2#44394705) |

Date: April 24th, 2022 11:50 AM Author: 180 field incel I have most of his later stuff too. I think around Imperial Bedroom he tried to get too artsy and the songs kinda felt forced and unwieldy. Still a good tune here and there. But that album with Veronica that was like his biggest commercial success was just ghastly.
