That acid tongue blighted some very heartfelt emotions and a sophisticated political consciousness Costello understands, as the Clash never will, that political involvement must start on a very personal level, in one's own "Hoover Factory," not in a helter-skelter call for a "White Riot."). Or that grating voice obscured a sincerity hard to find in rock today. But that's what the cliche to which he bound himself--"continued anger," as he recently...
