In keeping with G&K investing DD, I do a daily Internet search for the word "king" and ran across this most interesting post:
The whole world got confused by Elvis's music and started trying to respond to it ... to no avail. That's because it isn't real music.
The last time I encountered such unpleasant musical aggression was as a college student. I submitted my music history semester project paper entitled "Nationalism in music by comparing John Phillip Sousa and Pyotr Il'ich Tchaikovsky". The instructor rejected my paper, adjusted her skirt, took off her glasses and looked me in the eye to say similar words:
"Sousa isn't real music."
This Sousa loving, trombone/tuba playing, four year music scholarship winner used the powers that be and marched to the tune of the faculty, the Dean of Music and the Dean of the Fine Arts to railroad her decision of my rejected paper. We marched with full drums and bugles until she was forced to accept my project. With all that academic 'talent' breathing down her neck, she adjusted her skirt, put her glasses back on took the view that Sousa was indeed real music.
Mike, adjust your skirt, put on your glasses and remove your aggression of The King.

P.S. My 14 Elvis CD's sit on the shelf next to Tchaikovsky, Rossini, Puccini, Verdi, Mozart, Brahms, Schubert and all those other bubble gum musicians of yesteryear. None of them could compare to "Elvis the Pelvis".... |
