Our musical guest tonight has been called a visionary.
He's been
He's been called the handsomest man in show business and rumor has it that he's on the shortlist for the Nobel Peace Prize
And we had to pay him a lot of money to be here tonight
Every woman wants to be his pal every man wants to sleep with him and on top of that he also writes songs
Let's just take a look at some of his work
Here's one he made when he was just a little boy
Here's one from his abstract period
Here's one where he's wearing makeup, I think it's a transvestite I think this is a children's album
And this one's deleted ladies and gentlemen here he is Elvis Costello and the imposters
