In the spirit of extreme incestuousness by which the blogosphere is justifiably famous, I hereby link back to her: Elvis Costello wrote the score to a ballet!

Okay. Interesting story about how Joyce Brothers got on "[The] $64,000 Question." She went down originally and presented herself as a psychologist, and she had an expertise in something and, I'm not sure I remember what it was, but it certainly wasn't boxing. And they said to her, "Well you're wonderful as a personality but we're looking for those dramatic juxtapositions." The marine officer who is an expert cook. The shoemaker who knows about opera.Or the pop singer who knows about writing ballet scores? Elvis, there's an opportunity for you here.
