Comment: The worst sort of songwriting is the one where songwriter’s believe they are writing “important” songerly songs, as though their mere presence adds depth where none exists. The new (old) Kris, Rosanne and Costello “April 5th” (Grade: D+) is insufferable, smug and plain bad news. Elvis is on Colbert on Monday with Darlene Love on Monday.
