Costello crashed into the world of big time rock’n’roll through a planned accident. His aggressive manager, Jake Riviera, sent Elvis over to the 1977 Columbia Records convention in London to play his songs. Elvis had a portable amplifier strapped to his body; he was wired for sound and managed both to make himself heard and get arrested. The publicity landed Costello a Columbia recording contract. | Costello crashed into the world of big time rock’n’roll through a planned accident.
