About this episode

This episode explores the song 'Forgive Her Anything' from Elvis Costello's album 'Blood & Chocolate' and its variations.

Today's slow drag is with "Forgive Her Anything," from "Blood & Chocolate," Rykodisc/Demon Edition, released in 1995, with a slightly longer version, a "home demo," with opposing pronouns that profoundly shift the perspective of each iteration, found on the Rhino/Edsel version of "Mighty Like a Rose," released in 2002. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello's birth name. . . .
