Yours must rank among the best auto-bio comic devices: hang it all on the music of the times! Speaking of Elvis Costello doing James Taylor, how about his cameo in The Spy Who Shagged Me. He sings a Burt Bacharach song with extreme panache. What a voice!
I did enjoy Costello's Bacharach record - he really learned to sing for that. That album had a hard ear-worm effect on me, for some reason - whenever I listen, I get it stuck pretty hard, so I don't. But it was good. :)
