[net.music] On Elvis and Elvis

steve (11/09/82)

	When I listen to Elvis P or watch him on the tube in one
of his many memorable movies, I feel entertained by one of the
greatest rock stars of all time. He was certainly ahead of his
time in style and mannerism. Turning from hip shakes, he could sing
a lullabye as well as anyone. Although I grew with the Beatles and
at one time considered them they greatest rockers, I must admit
Elvis is just as listenable today.
	Today there is Elvis C. He may be a fad. He may be opportunistic.
He may not sing as well. Or look as well. Or dance as well. But he is
here today. In fact I saw his show in Forest Hills 2 months ago. NOBODY
writes songs like this guy.
	When was the last time you saw the king?
