A month after my post questioning the situation with ?uestlove and Elvis Costello recording together based on that notorious bar-room rant from Costello’s early days, the Okayplayer crew alerted me to this new video where Elvis actually apologizes to Ahmir in person. You’re welcome, internetS.
I was wondering the same thing when I saw ?uestlove tweet about the upcoming music he’s doing with Elvis Costello. Question answered.
Someone desrves a nobel prize for this.
Seems very contrite. He said something and people seemingly misconstrued his words; he’s not closet racist. Just someone who inadvertently said something stupid. Who hasn’t?
He really reminds of me of the actor Tim Roth, and just as aside; Questlove looks old as fuck. Peace
Elvis Costello is a racist asshole and a huge embarrassment to Irish People.
Ray Charles is a million times more talented than Elvis.
Eminem is another racist asshole!
Calling someone a ‘blind, ignorant n*****’ cannot be ‘misconstrued’. It’s out and out racism and mocking the blind too. Pure and simple. Costello is like all these other pricks from the punk era. Using the times and ‘shock value’ as an excuse. Costello is no different to swastika wearing Nazi, Siouxsie Sioux and Chrissie Hynde celebrating the Moors Murders. Punk Rock is another term for wankers.
Jesse Jackson used the term ‘Hymee Town’ when running for President. Killed his campaign!!! Were ‘his’ words “Misconstrued”? And Jackson is Clergy! Stop Authorizing evil as “A slip-o-th’ tongue. Does anyone remember his “apology”? He dissed the culture his music is based on.

The racist rant is just the tip of the in regards to Elvis Costello and assholdom.
