Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink by Elvis Costello

4.0

---

No surprise that Elvis writes prose as well as lyrics. I like his remark about it being no surprise that after working on his autobiography for 3 years or so, that he came to the realization that he didn't care for the subject. He deals with it all, including those times earlier in his career when he was running his mouth, perhaps fueled by alcohol (or worse). His reverence for his father is wonderful to read, and this comes up repeatedly throughout the book. The non-chronological order of the book didn't bother me, and in fact was a nice change from the usual autobiography.
