Elvis Costello Has No Shame

"Elvis Costello has made a career out of confounding his fans. Over the years the man behind Oliver's Army has made a country album, worked with Burt Bacharach and made an unashamedly romantic album of love songs. Now he looks likely to baffle audiences again -- by writing an opera. Costello is preparing to write a piece of lyric theater based on the life of Hans Christian Andersen. It will premiere at the Danish Royal Opera in October."

As if it wasn't bad enough that he married Diana Krall and recorded North, this is irrefutable proof that the man's ego and musical poopitude are both directly proportional to the width of his vibrato. Good lord.
