Forget
about dying messy and young, or flogging your hits on an endless series of
"legacy" tours. Every musician wants to be Elvis Costello when they
grow up. From new wave to jazz to roots music, the erstwhile Declan MacManus
has never seemed to be "reinventing himself" — just exploring, with a
genuine and infectious curiosity.
All
this musical spelunking has given us so many tunes that even Elvis himself
can't seem to decide what to play. Hence the Spinning Songbook that he'll break
out once again on his "Revolver" tour, allowing lucky fans to spin a
wheel that will pick the set list from decades of hits.
