#100. Wow. I'm up to shirt #100 and I still have drawers full of shirts that have yet to be documented. And I'm not helping matters by continuing to buy new shirts.
Last week Elvis Costello rolled through Los Angeles with his Spectacular Spinning Songbook. This wasn't the first time he brought the wheel to LA, but somehow I missed the debut of the wheel in 1986. I wasn't about to miss it this time, and went to both shows at the Wiltern Theatre.
The show was all I had hoped for. The wheel gave the shows a certain amount of unpredictability since the spin of the wheel determines the set list. Of course, Elvis manipulated it a few times and had fun with the proceedings. I got to hear some of my favorite songs over the two nights (Beyond Belief, Brilliant Mistake, God Give Me Strength) and some interesting covers (Let Me Roll It, a few Beatles songs and even a bit of Purple Rain). More artists should be so daring.
