Hello Joe, I am mad. I hear so much about Elvis, while no concern that this man was a dope addict and he died from an over dose of illegal drugs. While there is outrage about (home run hitter) Barnes, I think that is how his name goes. They even are still calling Elvis "The King" even to this day.
To me, this is just something that the Media made up, that's just not true. Not to say that the man didnt have his day, he stole a lot of songs from black singers. I remember many years ago when he sang the song "Don't step on my blue suede shoes" I said to a white co-work; LiL Richard sang that song first and he got mad with me and said I did not know what I was talking about, Elvis sang the song first. I may be wrong as to which black singer sang it first but it sure was not Elvis.
They are still calling him "the King" truth is he was white so many entertainers were so much more talent than he was not to say he did have some talent. Joe, I can not forget back in the 1950's when he was asked about his black female fans? He said all a black woman can do for him is to shine his shoes.
It bothers me when I see these black anchor TV News people act like they too, idealize him as well. Joe I am MAD.
