62. Elvis Costello: Radio, Radio

PF500 can be useful, like here where it explains that this song is about how God Save the Queen had been pretty much banned by UK radio stations. With that context, Costello's ranting makes some sense, whereas before it had always felt like he had an Eminem persecution complex or something.

"But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference; And the promise of an early bed" ain't a bad line.

The organ and the energy are what make this song.

Rating: 71.
