The Last Year of My Youth performance
Costello returns to The Late Show with David Letterman to perform The Last Year of My Youth, a song that he had just composed the day before the show.
Esquire interview
Costello speaks about being an angry young man earlier in his music career:
I went to quite some lengths a number of years ago—30 years ago now, nearly—to dismantle the initial character that was sort of a contrivance between my naturally inappropriate appearance for the job of rock ‘n’ roll singer and, to be honest, my natural reticence and shyness.
