Hillary Clinton’s Super Sweet Sixtieth Special Guest: Elvis Costello

10/9/07, 5:31 pm EST


Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is turning sixty, and to celebrate, the Hillary 60th Birthday Committee is inviting 2,800 of her closest friends (err, supporters) to enjoy a concert by Elvis Costello at New York’s Beacon Theater on October 25th — which is totally like when Pitbull entertained at Priscilla’s bday bash on My Super Sweet 16 … or not. For the pocket-change price of $2,300, you too can purchase “Rock Star” tickets, which allow you to sit in the Premium Orchestra section where, we’re assuming, you’ll sway and maybe brush elbows with “important people.” For $1,000, the “Platinum” package, you’ll get orchestra seats, which should provide a good view of Costello and the back of the former president’s silvery mane. For anyone who just wants to see Elvis, especially Republican Costello fans, $250 buys nosebleed balcony seats. Before we start throwing down our hard earned money on another campaign trail though, we want assurances that Costello will play some or all of these RS hand-picked songs for the Clintons:

“Sneaky Feelings”
“Pay It Back”
“No Action”
“(I Don’t Want To Go To) Chelsea”
“Accidents Will Happen”
“Busy Bodies”
“You’ll Never Be A Man”
“Almost Blue”
“Blue Chair”
“Little Blue Window”
“My Flame Burns Blue”
“Baby Plays Around”
“Episode of Blonde”

Wishful thinking . . .

Wouldn’t it be great if Elvis played one chord and then walked off?

I’m afraid E’s been bought and paid for too many times over for something that cool!

Now THAT would be a celeb stance I could get behind. And I don’t mean because it’s Hillary, I mean just walking out on the entire hypocritical democratic election process!

And I wouldn’t care that the criticism came from a Brit. I just would love to see some rich and famous person do something besides automatically put a “D” next to their name.

Because people in the know understand the “D” or “R” don’t have shit to do with shit.

Being able to hire celebrities to play at your “birthday party”, and at the same time, allow a presidential candidate to con a room full of people into believing that he or she actually gives a shit about them, THAT’S what’s wrong with the political system.

Elvis, I love your music, but fuckin’ shame on you!!!

Shame on you!!!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, WHOA!!! I have Bob Dylan tickets for Thursday night here in Pittsburgh, and EC’s name is on ‘em. I swear…if he doesn’t show, I’m voting for Rudy.

Well, maybe I’ll think about that, but I’ll be pissed for sure.

It’s not THIS Thursday night — it’s Oct. 25!

I guess The Outsider doesn’t know much about Elvis Costello. I have seen Elvis perform 5 times in the last month and every time he plays a song called the Scarlet Tide. It’s about a woman who’s husband is killed in the war. She begins to question what her government is telling her about the war and is told that she is a traitor. Elvis says he thinks she is a patriot! Elvis cares about this country.
