Listened to Elvis Costello is class today and honestly; i dont really like him that much and ill tell you why as well as some good things he does. I like how he and the rest of the band play typical guitar, bass,drums, singer ( i guess there wasnt much of a choice back then) but to me that is what true rockers play, im saying this in the way that isnt the attitude part of  a rocker like the "punk" mindset you describe in class; im talking about what rock sounds and looks like to me besides the words/ attitude.
 I dont like how you cant hear a goddamn thing he says like he tried to do the old radio-like sound that Julian Casablancas from the Strokes did (even though strokes came way after). I dont like how the guitar sounds like someone banging two metal pipes together and how it hurt my years. I DO like how he has such snide remarks in his lyrics but i think what i dislike the most in his music and i guess all music that has this feature: SEX. I cant stand how everything is about sex and how they cant seem to understand that there is more to life than a hot babe or your bitchy ex-girlfriend to sing about. Even the Beatles got me hating the word "love" just alittle bit more now, i just like listening to deeper things or just other problems in the world or that are in their life because those ideas help me get on with my life and thinking more in depth about my life rather than hearing about how this girl use to love me, now we broke up, and now i have more feelings about her.      Get over it. Come back to me with something more meaningful, or just stop getting famous so that other people wont have to be beatin over the head with  more crappy songs about how your too lazy to sing about anything else.
