Van Halen’s David Lee Roth once said: “Rock critics love Elvis Costello because rock critics look like Elvis Costello.” When he first appeared on Top of the Pops in September 1977, beyond Buddy Holly and Hank Marvin, there had been few rock stars with the nerd aesthetics of Elvis Costello. Though much too musically competent to be truly punk, he possessed a tongue bathed in acid and a remarkable ability to turn a phrase. But while this Angry Young Man persona made him a star, it would also destroy him. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Radio Radio.” #ElvisCostello #SNL #MusicDocumentary Fact-checking by Serenity Autumn.
