I thought Elvis was cooler than this. Not only that, he cannot "croon" a la Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, or Mel Torme (someone needs to tell him that, and soon).

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Led by crooner Elvis Costello, supporters of presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton rose to their feet and cheered on Thursday night, the eve of the 60th birthday of the Democrat who aims to become the first woman U.S. president.
Costello, who sang "Happy Birthday Mrs. President" and delivered raucous versions of hit songs including "Pump it Up," was joined by actor-comedian Billy Crystal, former President Bill Clinton and several members of New York's Congressional delegation.
Crystal, in a more serious moment during his introduction of the former president, told the fund-raiser's audience at Manhattan's Beacon Theater Hillary Clinton's campaign was one of only three times he had become politically engaged -- after the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 and Bill Clinton's victory in 1992.
The former president, who took to the stage with daughter Chelsea, got laughs when he recalled the frequent queries about what he would do at the White House if Sen. Clinton wins next year's election. "I want to co-star with him (Crystal) in a remake of 'Grumpy Old Men,'" he quipped.

I’d rather have Sara Evans singing for Fred Thompson.

Is Elvis Costello a US citizen yet? What kind of say should he have in choosing our nation’s president?

And they keep championing Bill’s UNCONSTITUTIONAL return to the White House. They know he’ll have powers that he should not ever hold again just as he bestowed upon Hillary powers that prohibit her from serving as President AGAIN.

I think he got it by means of dumping his second wife to marry Diana Krall.
Not that I’m bitter.

Costello, who sang "Happy Birthday Mrs. President" JFK got Marilyn Monroe.
HRC gets a paunchy, ageing Celtic midget.

Costello’s always been a punk, and Crystal’s infatuation with the Clinton’s isn’t surprising.

How the heck did he get into the rock and roll hall of fame? I can’t name two songs of his.

Id rather have Sara Evans singing for Fred Thompson. I second that. Notice that they get people who are old hat and no longer relevant doing there shows. They get the old hippies from the 60's singing for them.

Kennedy...Strange prople those leftists. They hold Kennedy out as a paragon of liberalism. Kennedy was anti communist and lowered taxes. Why, he'd be considered a DINO and cruel by today's DUmbmocrats.

Diana Krall is Canadian. And marriage no longer equals automatic citizenship.

Watching the Detectives from his first album has a reggae beat. And his recent work has been in the mode of Burt Bacharach.
You’ve got me as to why he is in the ROCK AND ROLL hall of fame and the Stooges aren’t. Except that the editor of Rolling Stoned has never liked the Stooges or real rock and roll.
