Strap in for a deep dive into the razor-sharp world of Elvis Costello — the bespectacled wordsmith who defied genres, rattled the establishment, and carved out one of the most fascinating careers in modern music. Host Jimmy takes you from Costello's London upbringing to his explosive debut, through his punk-tinged anger, his many reinventions, collaborations with legends, personal controversies, and his evolution into a respected elder statesman of rock.
We’ll cover: 🎸 The pub rock roots that birthed The Attractions and the "angry young man" era 📺 The infamous Saturday Night Live ban 🎻 His genre-hopping with country, jazz, classical, and pop icons 💔 Personal turmoil and public scandals 🏆 His legacy as one of rock's most fearless and brilliant lyricists
Whether you know him from “Alison,” “Pump It Up,” or his work with Burt Bacharach, this is the definitive Costello story you didn’t know you needed. Humor, deep-dive stories, and plenty of behind-the-scenes drama — pure Rock Pod style.
Press play. The glasses are on. The sneer is loaded. The pen is sharp.
