Como el asunto de la nostalgia prosiga a esta marcha, dentro de poco habrá festivales de nostálgicos hasta en las guarderías. Esto viene a cuento porque a presenciar a Elvis Costello acudió buena parte de la vieja nueva ola con sus barriguitas, calvicies y media lagrimita en la ojera. Estos fans mezclábanse con los simples admiradores de la extensa y ecléctica obra de uno de los compositores más prolíficos que haya dado nunca el reciente arte del pop. Veinticinco elepés en 20 años, todos repletos de canciones para todos los gustos y estados de ánimo.Por otra parte, Costello y The Attractions cumplían dos décadas exactas de su primera actuación y lo celebraron a lo grande, dando un exquisito recital de piezas perfectas en su concepción y ejecución. | Como el asunto de la nostalgia prosiga a esta marcha, dentro de poco habrá festivales de nostálgicos hasta en las guarderías.

As the matter of nostalgia continues its march, soon there will be festivals nostalgic for nursery. This comes about because Elvis Costello came to witness much of the old new wave with their bellies, baldness and a half tear in the eye. These fans mingled with simple fans of the extensive and eclectic work of one of the most prolific composers ever given the recent pop art. Twenty-five LPs in 20 years, all full of songs to suit all tastes and moods. Moreover, Costello and [[The Attractions]] met exactly two decades after its first performance and celebrated in style, giving an exquisite recital of perfect pieces in its conception and execution. | As the matter of nostalgia continues its march, soon there will be festivals nostalgic for nursery.
