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.

here's a review he was mentioned in from this year
Add Lucinda Williams to the list of life's blessings that should be counted on the touching title track of her new album. Indeed, the singer-songwriter shows no signs of slowing the creative roll she has been on since 2007's West. Her latest, coproduced by Grammy winner Don Was, finds the tough-voiced Williams in a tender mood on ballads like the sweetly comforting "Born to Be Loved" and "Copenhagen," an elegy for her late manager. But another death-a friend's suicide-drives her into angry rocker mode on "Seeing Black," one of three cuts endowed with Elvis Costello on electric guitar.

the paul weller to freddie mercury one doesn't seem right to me. i seem to remember the story going that freddie mercury said in an interview with nme, which totally slated him, that he wanted to bring ballet to the masses. queen and the sex pistols were shortly afterwards recording in the same studio, sid vicious popped his head in and said "oy, freddie. you still bringing ballet to the masses" or something like that.
― you've got male (jim in glasgow), Friday, 16 September 2011 22:48 (twelve years ago) link
"Queen and The Sex Pistols were recording albums in London's West End when Sid Vicious wandered into the wrong studio to find Mercury alone at the piano. 'Ah, Freddie Mercury, still bringing ballet to the massses are you?' hissed Vicious. 'Oh yes, Mr Ferocious, dear,' Mercury bit back. 'We are doing our best.'
this is totally made up

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...
