I think I may have found some info that deserves deeper research, and this is related to Pizzagate because it is related to the music industry, politics, and child molestation.
On page 202 of the book titled "Elvis Costello, Joni Mitchell, and the Torch Song Tradition", it talks about a photograph of a politician kissing a baby that was supposed to mean "Kiss them now, kill them later." Costello describes this as the "ultimate act of betrayal," then immediately talks about his song Tramp the Dirt Down and how he wants to witness Margaret Thatcher's burial and help stomp the dirt down. Remember that Margaret Thatcher was good friends with Jimmy Savile.
Then, on page 221, the text talks about a song that describes a child getting molested in a church.

He's got my full respect here, too:
On 15 May 2010, Costello announced he would withdraw from a concert performed in Israel in opposition to Israel's treatment of Palestinians. In a statement on his website, Costello wrote, "It has been necessary to dial out the falsehoods of propaganda, the double game and hysterical language of politics, the vanity and self-righteousness of public communiqués from cranks in order to eventually sift through my own conflicted thoughts." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Costello
But Shipbuilding resounds with an intense political anger, I say. “Yes, but I didn’t think it was going to stop the war. I don’t really want to be called political, because, you know, who is political? Politicians. How many of them do you want to call friends? Not very many.”
His talk of politicians gives me an opening to ask him about his native England, which he quit for Ireland, then the US, and then Canada, where he now lives with his jazz-pianist wife, Diana Krall, and their eight-year-old twin sons, Dexter and Frank. No point beating about the bush: what does he think of David Cameron? “I try not to think about Cameron. I’ve just eaten!”
And Jeremy Corbyn? Costello says he’s been amused by the way the rightwing press is portraying the new Labour leader as a major threat to British national security. “Corbyn can’t actually change anything, even inside his own party. So what are they so afraid of, if not another opinion? He’s just expressing views that are different from theirs – I thought that was democracy.” https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/oct/16/elvis-costello-interview-people-have-no-idea
Gee, I wonder what turns his stomach about Cameron?
And what about Joni Mitchell? Was she abused as a child, then allowed her daughter to be abused?
In the book "Dancing in Hell" by Daniel West, there's a chapter titled "Making Her Case for Her: Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell" where the narrator describes a young girl being molested by her uncle and the girl's mother allowing it to happen because she was also molested by the same relative. Scroll until you see the chapter title.

Again, the above is just what I've found significant according to my interpretations of the text and I'm not claiming to have read either of these books cover to cover, so feel free to add anything else you find and we'll see where it goes.

Given that this song was written long before the Savile story broke, he might want to tramp the dirt down for other reasons....like the ones he mentions in the song.

Thanks for making an appearance. I guess this means I'm on to something! Well, might Costello have known what Thatcher was BEFORE the Savile story broke? I'm sure a lot of people knew, but didn't say anything.

Does that actually make sense to you? People say this a lot like like it's a valid piece of thinking.
My teacher said I got all the answers wrong, so I must be doing something right.
I told my friend that the drummer in the Beatles was Paul. He said I was wrong! What a normie!!

You're a bit dense, so I'll spell it out for you. What I and others mean is that you only seem to show up in threads that need derailed. Got it?
Are_we_sure ago
Says the guy who just now is realizing he doesn't understand Elvis Costello's politics. Literally, a guy who derailed his own thread is saying this.

I hardly derailed my thread, I just revealed that he's actually a slimy guy who hangs out with the Clintons and Abramovic. This is what true research accomplishes. I dug deeper and found out he's not such an upstanding guy after all. Good researchers dig deeper and aren't afraid to admit they were wrong.
