Elvis....42 years since his death

[Wile E Coyote]

post 13... his comments are stupid most of the time.

A deluded attention seeking clown, I’m not really sure why he’s on here..?

are you not? please enlighten anyone who cares just why you post your comments on here .
Must be great knowing you can tell so much about someone from a few words about elvis.
mind you, most of needlessly offensive stuff comes from the stupidly arrogant know it all, humourless types.

even though it was big news at the time, I failed to see what all the fuss was about. His music was dreadful, and little more than cheapo cabaret towards the end.

His music was so dreadful it's estimated he sold over 1 billion records worldwide, imagine what he could have achieved if it was any good...

At the Mother-in-laws, at Whitby. Sad to say I’ve been over late last week to bury her. As she got to 91 she’d had a good innings.

Read the OP and then ask yourself why you posted. If you want opinions on Elvis start another thread.

I was in my nana's house on Cog Lane, and I remember my Mum crying.

Elvis even at the end was a real talent. At the start, he changed EVERYTHING.

Wasn't it John Lennon who said "before Elvis, there was nothing". Whoever it was, it's quite a statement.

lennon was wrong, and there was tons of stuff going on before elvis. this was the 50's, and people were easily led.

[bobinho]

Ahem... Lennon was rarely wrong.

But yeah, we all know there was tons of stuff going on before Elvis, but up to then, no-one with white skin ever did what he did, sounded like he did, looked like he did and moved like he did.... it was just a way of saying Elvis was a game changer. And he was, and anyone who says otherwise is merely proving their own ignorance. Either that or being deliberately provocative. Trolling maybe?

Whether you `get it` or not is irrelevant. History makes a mockery of your statements.

[Wile E Coyote]

not quite, your gibberish is is making it plain you haven't a clue about music, or musical history.Strange how a difference of opinion turns one into a troll somehow.your arrogance is well matched by your stupidity .

[Wile E Coyote]

[Wile E Coyote]

[bobinho]

Add Bruce Springsteen to that list also.
Wile E should stick to leaving Acme bird seed trails.

hopefully followed by a simpering retinue of husks and shambolic nonentities that populated this thread.
