	Reason magazine -- May 2001, Their Aim Is True by Abigail Kohn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		My heart was starting to pound, and when my name was called, I slowly walked up to the pony, handing my rifle and shotgun (with their actions open) to the shooter who’d be keeping track of my hits.
		To answer these questions, my research took me to places that are generally considered the sole province of that much-maligned and poorly understood whipping boy called "the gun culture." I took lessons from instructors certified by the National Rifle Association, went to gun shows, and shot on ranges and in competitions.
		My old man [her father] was such a bully -- this is a very new skill that I’m learning to cultivate.

	Elvis Costello: My Aim Is True: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		With his 1977 debut, My Aim Is True, Costello exploded onto the punk/new-wave scene like a mutant hybrid of Buddy Holly and Johnny Rotten.
		My Aim Is True is host to some of the best songs Elvis has ever penned.
		When Elvis sweetly intones, "My aim is true," he could as easily be alluding to shooting his ex-lover as trying to win her back.

		BEST TRACK : From "My Aim Is True" -- "No Action" (Early Version): According to Costello's liner notes, this track (which eventually surfaced in a different version on 1978's "This Year's Model") was recorded at the same session as "Watching The Detectives," before that song's drum-drenched microphone setting could be altered.
		In the early ‘70s, he occasionally performed under the name D.P. Costello, or with his country-rock group Flip City, until, in 1976, his demo tape attracted the notice of Stiff, which signed him as a solo artist in 1977.
		Later that year, in search of a tighter, tougher sound, Costello assembled his new backing band, the Attractions (keyboardist Steve Nieve, bassist Bruce Thomas and drummer Pete Thomas [no relation to Bruce]), a fearsomely skillful trio that, for the next 10 years, helped Costello define the boundaries of the post-punk universe.

	Elvis Costello – My Aim Is True
		My Aim Is True - to be reissued in August on Rhino Records as a double-disc, bonus-track-laden package - was one of the great debut albums in the annals of pop music.
		From the tender vitriol of "Alison" to the knowing arrogance of "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes" to the free-associative Dylanisms of "Waiting for the End of the World," Costello shows himself to be a budding pop master.
		And while at times he is almost too clever for his own good, a problem that will become more pronounced as his career progresses and his easy virtuosity becomes even easier, one cannot but be charmed by the young Costello's charisma.

		That is: a true idea is probably going to be useful (but not always); a useful idea may still be false.
		While it is probably true that Ptolemy himself was looking for a realist solution, I amnot convinced he persuaded all that many people that he had found one.
		It seems that many/most of the latter believe they are aiming at "true" theories and that their operational success is evidence that they are at least getting close.

	My Aim Is True
		My Aim Is True helped create the new wave genre, both musically and in the stylish appearance of the man himself.
		Released in 1977 (see 1977 in music) by Stiff/Columbia, this album broke new ground with punk, pop, and reggae influences, but without the overt abrasion or sometimes heavy politics of punk.
		My greatest strength as a consultant is to be ignorant and ask a few questions.

	‘True Romance’ (R)
		"True Romance" aims to be a "Bonnie and Clyde" for the '90s, but its aim isn't true -- it's just "Bonnie and Clyde" for an MTV generation with a short attention span and an even shorter emotional range.
		Since both "True Romance" and "Reservoir Dogs" are built on the premise of things going suddenly, terribly wrong, it seems appropriate that things fall apart.
		But the central failure of "True Romance" is its inability to bring anything new or fresh to the "young outlaw couple on the run" cliche, regurgitated just a week ago in "Kalifornia" (whose star, Brad Pitt, does a Butt-head-style cameo here).

		As a farmer's son, I fired my first gun at the age of seven, but because of where I grew up, I was denied television until I was an adult.

		Now 63 and still AIM's national field director, Banks is at pains to present himself as a kinder, gentler Indian-rights activist, the father of 20 children and corporate partner (with the Aveda cosmetics firm) of a foundation that benefits young runners.
		Between a quarter and a third of all Indian children were raised in non-Indian foster homes; most of the rest, including Banks himself, were sent to faraway boarding schools where their family culture and language slipped irrevocably away.
		AIM remains active, though much of its leadership was killed or jailed in the 1970s.

		It's astonishing to think that Elvis Costello recorded My Aim Is True in 24 stitched-together hours of downtime from his day job as a computer programmer.
		Considered one of the best debuts of all time, My Aim Is True introduced the erudite, bespectacled singer-songwriter from Liverpool and established him as a new talent with a literate, caustic voice and an ample musical vocabulary.
		After the success of My Aim Is True, Costello lost the bar band and assembled the Attractions for his follow-up, This Year's Model, which captured the vigor, but not the rough spontaneity of his debut.

	Punknews.org \| Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
		Yes, he was backed by a band called "Clover", who would end up being a backing band for Huey Lewis, and yes, he sang openly about love, but one listen to any of his records should prove that this guy was part of the essence of punk.
		"My Aim is True" starts off with one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs, "Welcome to the Working Week" and doesn't stop rocking you until 22 tracks later.
		Good music is always good music, no matter what the reason for listening to it is. Just because someone is listening to old album to brush up on the roots of punk doesn't mean that they're just trying to be an elitest or any of that other crap.

	Elvis Costello: My Aim Is True ---Ink Blot Magazine
		He was born Declan Patrick MacManus in London, the son of an Anglo-Irish music-hall bandleader, but his debut album on Stiff Records showed no signs of music-hall bounce at all: My Aim Is True was filled with angry, frustrated, impotent songs informed by punk, reggae, and rockabilly.
		My Aim Is True is a debut album that plays like a greatest hits compilation.
		You could argue that My Aim Is True inspired more people to become journalists than musicians, but that's missing the point.

		In addition, by posting Content on an AIM Product, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium.
		This clause understandably caused great consternation among AIM users, who interpreted it to mean that not only were all their personal instant message communications with other users subject to being monitored by AOL, but that AOL could use such messages for any purpose they saw fit, without obtaining permission from or compensating their originators.
		One example of this, Weinstein said, may be a user who posts a "Hot or Not" photo and thus allows AIM to post it for other AIM users to vote on.

	My Aim Is True - Wal-Mart
		The 2001 edition of MY AIM IS TRUE comes with a bonus disc of rare material including demos and alternative versions of songs.
		When MY AIM IS TRUE was released in 1977, no one knew that the character on the cover, with coke-bottle glasses, ill-fitting clothes, and Jerry Lewis posture would become a pop-culture icon.
		In retrospect, the songs--with echoes of everything from the Band ("Blame It on Cain") to the Byrds ("[The Angels Wanna Wear My] Red Shoes")--owed more to rootsy pub-rock than it did to punk, but it was still miles beyond the hairy-chested blues-rock theatrics bogging down the airwaves in the mid-'70s.
