Dang, I got this one wrong! I thought he died because everyone dies!




















Not that I disagree about him being crap, and I find the whole cult around him nauseating...

Why do you say he was crap? He was among the greatest performers of all time. Are you angry because many found him to be talented?

He was worse than crap. He was exported from America and placed his verbal Diarrhoea into the innocence of good ol' rock music! 😉

That is one of the dumbest lyrics that Neil Young ever wrote too. If you take it for what it says, you should leave while you are on top because you don't want to hang around. Maybe that is okay in the industry, but if you apply it to life, everyone should commit suicide when they hit their prime becuase everything beyond that is downhill. What a bunch of crap!!! Good thing your parents didn't share that view or you may not have been born, or at best you would have been an orphan at an early age.

You have sure got your facts messed up. He was the reason that rock and roll grew to what it is today. many of the acts that are the mega acts modeled themselves after Elvis & Buddy Holly. FACT!!

So you are pissed at success then? If something endures the multitudes and the test of time, then it must have merit, or else everyone likes crap.

Well it is nice of you to admit that bringing me into the world was the highlight of my parents lives.

Same here.

I find the cult thing more amusing than nauseating though.

Don't you believe your parents thought so? Of course everyone might not agree with your parents. They probably liked Elvis so obviously everything they liked was crap. 😛

Mozart and Mahler endure the test of time. I don't remember the last time I heard Elvis played publicly. In fact, I haven't heard him played for many years. But then, I don't live in the USA where dead horses are flogged!
