guest post by Gor-Lak, undead lich
I can’t tell you how many times today I’ve had people come up to me and ask if I had seen Elvis Costello’s stealth endorsement of the Tanster.
“Why no,” I’d say, in a slightly sarcastic tone of voice. Too slight;y apparently, because to a person they all proceeded to tell me about it.
Elvis Costello has his own YouTube page. DId you know that? In the community section he posts various things for his fans. That’s just good PR. The guy is a natural.
Today’s fan post was a link to a question and answer session with Stephen Colbert.
It was a bit of an ambush by Colbert, putting Elvis on the spot like that, having to come up with 15 amusing responses spontaneously. Saturday Night Live can’t even do that with their huge staff and a week of prep time.
Elvis did well. When Colbert asked him, “cats or dogs?”, Elvis didn’t hesitate. “Cats are always plotting our downfall.”
A fact learned from watching The Molesta Group on the Tanster blog? Stealth endorsement indeed.
