The Burt Bacharach Discussion Forum

The Showtime special takes a worshipful attitude toward him. A prominent quote finds Costello saying, "There's a continuum that goes: George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers, Burt Bacharach, and Brian Wilson." And there's a quote from Bob Dylan: "That ear . . . Jesus, he's got to will that ear to the Smithsonian."

Costello was talking about Brian Wilson. (Sorry I didn't make that clear.)
