“Who are the trusted?…” (Elvis Costello and the Attractions, 1978)

On this fine Monday, with war and violence flaring across the planet, we ask ourselves “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding“?

“(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, And Understanding” was written by British rocker, Nick Lowe and made famous by Elvis Costello, whose version (recorded and first released in 1978) appears on the Armed Forces L.P. of January, 1979. Below, you’ll find the original late ’78/ early ’79 promo video.
