Date: December 25th, 2016 11:27 AM Author: rusted love of her life business firm 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: arousing field old irish cottage 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3471387&forum_id=2#44395192) |
