“And it was funny to hear this song, which I think I’ve performed maybe four times in public since ’77, certainly.” “We had a conference call about it,” Costello adds, “and I said, ‘Look, this seems like a very downbeat sort of number to end the show on.’ And I said, ‘You know, if on the day of the final broadcast you get a call from Taylor Swift and Beyoncé that they’re prepared to come on and play table tennis against one another live on air, you can cut the number and I won’t be offended.’ … But of course, what I didn’t know is they had a whole other card to play, which was Paul McCartney .”

““It was an impulsive thing to put myself forward,” Costello reveals on the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now , where he also discusses his new box set, My Aim Is True (49th Anniversary Edition) .”

““Steve asked my advice about that role.”
“I thought maybe that would be good for us.”
““I saw what the Roots had achieved across town, you know, that they had saved their own lives, and those of their family around them, by coming off the road.”
“(A spokesperson for Colbert didn’t immediately return a request for comment.) “I’d watched what happened with the Roots ,” says Costello, who recorded with The Tonight Show ‘s own house band on 2013’s Wise Up Ghost .”
“… It hadn’t inhibited them [from] making more records and working on things, and it put them at a center.” (To hear the whole episode, listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify , or just press play above.) Costello also felt he had history on his side.”
