- **This discussion is going a bit off this newsgroup, but...
-
- I guess I'm one of the younger generation, but I think I know what
- music is supposed to be about. I had a roommate who had an Elvis CD, so
- not knowing alot about Elvis I decided to check out the liner notes and such.
- And I noticed that out of 15+ songs, Elvis helped in writing TWO of them.
- Hardly an accomplishment for a king. A KING of r'n r would be able to write
- his own material not just swing his hips and make the girls scream. Performers
- are a dime-a-dozen. That's like thinking Madonna will be known for her "music".
- Elvis may have been quite a performer, but a musician he is not, king is an
- insult to the term.
-
- I won't bother getting into what kind of music I think is worthwhile, that
- kind of stuff is subjective anyway, but I think I made my point.
