Elvis fan? Stewblack, if I'm right you're an Elvis Costello fan. In this case can you explain his receipt of an OBE? Not just why he got one but also why he accepted it, as I don't believe his "my mum told me to" story for a nanosecond, mainly because of his unfathomable ego.
I normally like to be positive but this bothers me somewhat.
Cheers

Hello mate, been a long time admirer of his lyrics and music but hadn't heard anything about this.
I do know anything he tells the press should be taken with a pinch of salt.
It does seem odd doesn't it? For the author of Oliver's Army who once described England as 'the whore of the world' to accept the order of the British empire.
At the end of the day it's none of my business of course. A personal decision which, for all we know, he might have made to make his mum proud.

He's written quite a bit about it on his blog which is worth a read.
