Elvis the Author!
Elvis Costello has signed a deal to write 2 books, apparently neither of them a lurid, rock-and-roll tale of sex, drugs and alcohol. I'll probably read them anyway:

"The first book, scheduled for fall 2005, will be a 'series of intimate narrative chapters taking their cue from the styles, themes and characters found in a number of Costello's lyrics.'

The second book will be a 'work of comic philosophy' entitled "How to Play the Guitar, Sing Loudly and Impress Girls ... or Boys.'"
