Don't know what I think of the this morning that Elvis Costello is to headline a fundraiser for Hilary Clinton's birthday.

There is much to admire about Hilary Clinton, so I don't have a problem with that. I guess it just makes me feel old that one of my teenage idols has become so 'establishment'.

Back in 1979, who would have predicted that the skinny young punk on Top Of The Pops would one day be performing at the 60th birthday bash of the woman tipped to be the next American President.

So what will he play on the big night? Chelsea will be a must but Indoor Fireworks and Baby Plays Around might be risky choices in the Clinton household.

Elvis Costello has done some fine covers over the years. Billy Sherrill produced his Almost Blue album, but I doubt whether Elvis will cover Sherrill's best known song, Stand By Your Man.

Given Mrs Clinton's likely rival at the polls, I reckon a blast of The Specials' A Message To You Rudy would go down a storm.

What do you think should be on the setlist? Post a comment and let me know...
