If you’re a stronger person than I am, you might want to check out the upcoming schedule for Elvis Costello’s talk show on Sundance, which debuts next month; guests include Bill Clinton, James Taylor, and Herbie Hancock.

P.S. Any truth that “Momofuku” was the first thing heard out of E.C.’s mouth after Bonnie Bramlett socked it?
