He's looking RIGHT AT YOU! Really now, is there no sense of decency/privacy for famous people who just want to buy a few groceries for Pete's sake? Did you consider simply approaching the man (he is only human, after all, just more well-known than some due to his career choice) and asking if he'd mind your taking his photograph? You could have probably even had your photo taken WITH him if you'd just showed a little respect for the fellow. If he'd said, "No", you could have replied, "Why not? What's so funny 'bout peace, love, & understanding?" lol! I bet he'd have loved it! I realize you were probably just nervous & I don't mean to sound harsh; it's just that I worked in the music "biz" for 28 years and, trust me, famous people are just like anybody else. They only seem larger-than-life due to how high-up we hold them as icons. Your title is really funny, and Mr. Costello would most surely get a kick out of it, but I don’t think you fooled the man.

If Elvis doesn't crank out that hit single , I'm gonna. "the grapes couldn't protect him" would HAVE to be better than that, "tear off your own head (its a doll revolution)" one that was in the Olsen Twins movie. Though I not-so-secretly LOVE that song. Love the title, at least. You will always be the Elvis Costello to my Rita Hayworth.
