Last night I enjoyed seeing Elvis Costello play at Atlanta’s Tabernacle. As much as I love his music, I appreciate Costello’s wit almost more.

Rather than trying to describe his wit, I offer a March 2003 example from when he substitute hosted for David Letterman.

The line-up for that night was amazing, it included Eddie Izzard and the late Mitch Hedberg. I wonder if Costello got the itch to do his recent series, Spectacle, from this 2003 experience.
