It's not every video that can deliver classic pop, a dose of Valentino, and an all-too-telling glimpse into a onetime fairytale marriage, but Elvis Costello manages it in 1983's "I Write the Book," which also features deeply cool backup singers and a lead vocalist looking several decades younger than I ever remember seeing him. Or maybe it's just that the rest of us have grown a couple of decades older...
