Suit up in your green shirt and prepare for battle! At long last, Now Hear This tackles Elvis Costello with an over-sized examination of 1979's Armed Forces - Elvis's third studio LP and early breakthrough project in a career that now spans nearly five decades. Joining Paul for this discussion is none other than Chris Mercer - cofounder of the hit Take It Away: The Complete Paul McCartney Archive podcast and Declan McManus aficionado supreme. So join the big boys for a class in linguistics and venom with this unforgettable record for moderns! Now hear this: "Green Shirt," "Senior Service," "Accidents Will Happen," and "Chemistry Class."
