Elvis Costello has a Tantrum
A guy I knew went to see Elvis Costello back when he was first starting. He had spent months saving his money and finally he was in the theatre where Elvis Costello himself was to rock. The lights began to gently fall as the crowd roared wildly. Elvis Costello in all his pseudo-fifties glory enters. He walks to the center, his mighty axe in hand. He slams into the song. A string breaks. The music dies.
Elvis Costello turns away from the mic and shouts at someone offstage. Then he storms off. The crowd murmurs as the stage sits empty for minutes. The manager comes out and walks to the mic. He then apologizes because Mr. Costello will not be performing that night and he thanks everyone for coming.
