If being overplayed on 'ROCK' radio makes someone mainstream, then Elvis
Costello is indeed mainstream.  Both RI-104 and WPLR, New Haven have
been playing a lot of his stuff recently.  MTV was saturated with his
videos one night, and the 14 year old kid next door buys his albums.
If these things are indicative of 'mainstream' then I guess Elvis is
right up there with all the other mainstream artists.  Its good to
see Alice Cooper trying another comeback.  Eh, thats mainstream.
