I'm not gonna stick up for the quality journalism of People magazine but Elvis Costello = "bullshit for sad suburban sub-literates" at this point. he is well-known, he's a familiar face, he's been in Austin Powers, knocked up Diana Krall, is always doing middlebrow collabs, putting out albums for the generation that still buys CDs etc.

When Wayne Coyne said everyone he'd met in showbiz was pretty cool, except for Richard Ashcroft who was a massive dick, I thought ok, Wyane Coyne is a super nice guy and Richard Ashcroft is obviously a massive dick. When he said Arcade Fire were pricks I thought that was unexpected, but he's a super nice guy so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If I hear him mouth off about one more rock star though...
