What a difference a decade or two can make. Just about 20 years ago, Elvis Costello, to quote a certain Stereophile record reviewer, "howled and thrashed like an anti-matter Buddy Holly from a rejected Star Trek script." And 10 years ago, Paul Westerberg was fronting those Godfathers of Grunge, the Replacements, alternately channeling MC5 at their best and playing drunken, sloppy sets in which they'd do nothing but Rolling Stone covers. And now, as punk mounts yet another comeback and grunge makes millionaires of guys not worthy to sing "Tommy's Got His Tonsils Out," Costello and Westerberg are beginning to sound like elder statesmen.
