Elvis Costello, Mr. Grandfather of Punk Rock himself, is actually touring the country this spring and performing a split show each night, part symphony with the full performance of his II Sogno as the first half of the show, and part rock and roll with the second half of his show as good ol’ fashioned Elvis.
