61. Salma - you are supposed to be boycotting us
(05.18.10)
Say goodbye to your computer and we'll say goodbye to you and your pro-terrorist nonsense.
62. Who is this Elvis guy? I thought Elvis was in Graceland..
Heartbreak Hotel ,   USA   (05.18.10)
63. I apologize
Daniel ,   Washington, DC   (05.19.10)
I apologize Elvis. Because you are actually unaware of the realities of the politics and have fallen victim of propaganda, you have clearly lost thousands of people who were fans both in Israel and abroad. I apologize but I can no longer be a fan. You choosing politics over performance just proves that you are not capable of being in either
64. #21 Waters is not Pink Floyd
ben Ish   (05.19.10)
Roger Waters is not Pink Floyd. He left quite a long time ago. Or perhaps he was thrown out for being an idiot. As far as I know, he has not been in the lineup since 1985, except for one show in 2005. If I had the opportunity to see Gilmour/Mason I would definitely go.
65. attempting to recuse a failing carrer. this will also fail.

66. I shamefully admit my ignorance
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, Aotearoa   (05.20.10)
I never even heard of this Costello dude. Wow, big loss, Israel, I hope you are mourning.s\
67. y all the has been try to revive their career
ghostq   (05.20.10)
on political issue, anyway his real name isn't Elvis, and he mainly one hit wonder.
68. never heard of him
Michael ,   Haifa   (05.20.10)
69. to #11
d ,   center   (05.20.10)
And I would not perform in Austria if I were a performer, your country should be on the A list of bowing it's head in shame. Hypocrite.
70. I wonder
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.06.10)
I wonder what he has to say about the british actions at the malvina's war. Hypocrite!!!
71. Peter the Austrian
Occam's Tool ,   Bemidji, MN   (06.24.10)
We wouldn't want you to play in Israel, Peter the goose stepping Austrian. By the way, note how musicians that get $1 million to play weddings and white hot stars like Rihanna Play Israel, while has-beens like Elvis Costello (who the real Elvis would have kicked) who have not been heard from in YEARS, get publicity from not playing?
72. Jafa
Occam's Tool ,   Bemidji, MN   (06.24.10)
Sir, you are not just another Jafa (Just another blank Aucklander---see, I have been to Godzone)---most Kiwis are antisemitic and non-sensical. You give me hope for your country.
