No Rock And Roll Fun

COSTELLO READIES PEN, ELECTRIC TYPEWRITER: We're half convinced that Elvis Costello has only agreed to write two books purely to allow the headline writers to use 'everyday i write the book' on the story. One of the titles seems to be some sort of loose adaptation of his lyrics into a novel form (presumably with an eye to Ben Elton picking them up for the stage) - lots of joining of Oilver's Army when you hear a Tokyo Storm Warning type fun ahead, then; the second book is "a work of comic philosophy" called How To Play The Guitar, Sing Loudly and Impress Girls... Or Boys. Which, give Elv's way with a tale, could actually turn out to be quite good.
