Didn’t Elvis Costello make some unflattering racial remarks about James Brown? Sometime in the 1980s he referred to James Brown as a “jive ass ‘n’. What a guy!

Who would pay good money to see Elvis Costello......he’s a lead in act at best!!!! I’m sure Israel is quaking in it’s boots at the threat of rioting in the streets because Elvis Costello isn’t showing!!!

First the Diaspora, then the Holocaust and now this,... no Elvis Costello. When will this suffering ever end. Oi vey.

Yes, our esteemed “artists” are so open, fair, unbiased and non judgmental. And not a single anti-Semite among them.

Always amusing to hear HAS BEEN cancel their show in Israel. It is their only option to get a little bit of notice again.

PS.I thought Costello was dead.

Why didn’t he just move his venue to some Palestinian concert halls? That way he could combine his devastating blow to the Israelis with some support for all his Palestinian fans?

He wrote some good songs once upon a time, but so did his brother-in-arms, Mr. Yusuf “Cat Stevens” Islam. Maybe “Elvis” should change his name again: Muhammed Costello has a nice ring to it.

Shmuck.

If he was ever relevant, he stopped being so about 20 years ago. No one cares, MacManus.

Elvis? His name is Declan Patrick MacManus.

I thought he might be related to Frank Costello.

If Israel is so bad, why did he schedule his concerts there in the first place? I can think of only 2 reasons: The first is that this is an attempt by a has-been performer to get back in the news. The second is simply that he succumbed to politically correct pressures encouraging him to malign Israel.

Too bad. He is one of my very favorite musical performers and I’ve seen him play several times over the past thirty years. He is one of those “shut up and sing” artists that I want to hear nothing from that isn’t on one of his records. Same for his wife, Diana Krall, if it ain’t part of the song, I have no use for it.

How bout starting a boycott of Elvis and his lovely and much more talented wife (Diana Krall) on Itunes? Make them pay for being evil and stupid.

Declan McManus is a schmuck, who hasn’t recorded anything worth listening to in 30 years.

I wonder why it is that 99% of entertainers are jackasses?

Costello, who was due to play two shows in Caesarea on June 30 and 31, posted a message on his website in which he announced that he would scrap the concerts in protest at what he termed the intimidation and humiliation of Palestinians by Israel.
He's really just upset at the Jews because he could never make it big in accounting. No talent croak-voiced loser.

I sat next across the aisle from Elvis Costello at a Tom Waits concert in NYC. He sat next to Joe Strummer. And Keith Richards was in the row in front of us.

Those were good seats!
