Elvis Costello Recalls Controversies, From Oasis to Olivia Rodrigo Defense
Elvis Costello, known for his outspoken nature, reflects on past controversies including his SNL ban and a racially insensitive remark about Ray Charles. He also discusses his more recent defense of Olivia Rodrigo and criticism of Oasis.
Elvis Costello will say whatever. He doesn't care. In the past, that tendency has gotten him into trouble. He was famously banned from Saturday Night Live earlier in his career, and he once said some drunken, racist stuff against Ray Charles that he's still apologizing for decades later. (Don't Google that. It'll bum you out.) Today, Costello is a beloved figure of the rock 'n' roll establishment; he just sang one of his songs with Stephen Colbert on Colbert's final Late Show last month. But Costello is still just saying whatever, even about British national heroes Oasis.
