  Powells.com Interviews - Mark Costello
Costello: One of the things I love about Richard Ford as a fiction writer over the last twenty-five years is that his characters aren't all astronomers and florists and classical violinists.
Costello: That character in White Noise is amazingly funny, and there's even a sliver of genius and legitimacy to what he says, but when the paragraph is over you step back and say, "Boy, that guy is both nuts and irrelevant."
Costello: With Bag Men, my first novel, I wanted to come up with a very strong structure, a structure that would carry people forward with a lot of narrative drive.

  Billy Costello
Managed by Mike Jones, who was also famous for managing Gerry Cooney and Wilford Scypion[?], Billy Costello fought a lot of his early professional bouts around the Hudson Valley[?]-NYC area, after a successful amateur career that culminated in a Golden Gloves award.
A Denver, Colorado fighter named Lonnie 'Lightning' Smith[?] would eventually break the goose egg in Costello's loss column by knocking down and cutting the defending champion en route to an eighth-round stoppage in NYC to claim the title in August 1985.
Costello then took some time off from the ring, fighting on a sporadic 'here-and-there' basis until the early 1990s.

 RTU's VKE MVSEVM: Billy "Uke" Carpenter
Billy "Uke" Carpenter is one of the great unsung ukulele heroes of the 1920s whose highly specialized talent was also in a way, his curse.
Given that Billy Costello himself was only marginally less obscure a figure in the world of entertainment than was Carpenter, and given that Costello's "Popeye" career came almost ten years after Carpenter's, the question "Why bother?" is reasonably begged.
Whoever Billy "Uke" Carpenter was, the recordings he left behind epitomize the manic, irreverent wackiness that became associated with the ukulele in the 1920s and thereafter, forever a part of its personality.

 Elvis Costello and Billy Bob Thornton - Chicago Theater (Concert Review)
As for Costello, his recently released When I Was Cruel finds him re-entering the arena of rock ’n‘ roll, and his latest band — The Imposters — made for a more than suitable replacement for The Attractions.
In concert, however, the new compositions were stripped down to their essence and served straight-up, while injected with an extra dose of adrenaline for good measure.
In other words, though several decades have passed and Costello’s musical tastes and accomplishments have become more varied, he can still deliver rock songs with the same brutal intensity as he did in his youth.

Singer/Songwriter Billy Falcon returns for a new studio album that perhaps could be his best since the breakthrough Pretty Blue World release more than 15 years ago.
Billy retains the usual southern country / mid-western pop base as his musical theme, but Made Man has feistier edge thanks to some more uptempo and electric based tracks, not too mention a discernable energy flowing through the speakers.
The album is slightly different in the sound and is a little more rootsy which suits Billy’s voice is really nice and one example of this is “The Rest Of The Song” which I want to put in front of everything else.

 Forums - One man knew from the begining Costello was a FBI informer
When Costello asked Sullivan who was leading the case and Sullivan said Queenan and Dingham, Costello seemed happy and not botherd, another reason i belived this it was almost like Queenan didnt trust Dingham and thats why Queenan went to meet Billy on his own on the roof top.
He did doubt him for one bit (the whole bar scene and the 'trying new guys' out scene to test him), but Costigan passed and Costello trusted him 100% that's why he gave him the tapes.
As for why Dignan killed Sullivan, I talked about it in a thread here http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/...ad.php?t=512477 but overall he was still a cop (on leave) and his job was to still take out that mob so he was just doing his job.

Billy Idol is a living blueprint for VH1's Behind the Music.
He has a culturally significant past (the Bromley Contingent), a failed but influential first band (Generation X), solo superstardom, excesses that nearly killed him (motorcycle accident, drug overdose), a clever comeback (The Wedding Singer), a well-received new album (Devil's Playground), and has always maintained a sense of humor about his place in history.
All five band members strapped on guitars (drummer Brian Tichy handed off the sticks for the duration of the song), and ended the show by throwing a wall of sound at the very lip of the stage.
