Elvis Costello on "Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink"

With his trademark black-rimmed glasses and unrelentingly diverse musicality, Elvis Costello has been shaping our collective songbook for the past 40 years. Now he gives us the ultimate behind-the-music story, his memoir. "Unfaithful Music and Disappearing Ink" takes us from Costello's younger days in London and Liverpool as the child of a jazz musician through his prolific career to his current status as a veteran rock icon. Alison Cuddy, CHF's associate artistic director and former WBEZ 91.5 host, joins him in conversation.
