<--- A's bumper.I post regularly to a music site, and I realized that in the last few months or so I've had something (not necessarily insightful or important) to say on the following bands/acts: Nirvana, Beck, Stevie Wonder, Depeche Mode, The Carpenters, Nine Inch Nails, Elton John, The Beatles, Ani De Franco, The Cure, Jimi Hendrix, Brandy, Radiohead, Prince, Amy Winehouse, Cat Power, Weezer, Neil Diamond, The Raconteurs, Bob Dylan, Wilco, The Stereophonics, Bryan Adams, Cheap Trick, The Subways, The Duke Spirit, The Vines, Aimee Mann, Ministry, Alice Smith, etc. As you can see, I am all over the musical map, aren't I?
^ But as the photo insinuates, it all begins with... ELVIS.
I've always had an interest in Elvis circa late 60s... more particularly his "comeback" after a brief stint in bad movies that were ever-so loosely based on his hit songs. "A" is a BIG Elvis fan and he burned me a copy of his favorite CD which was around the same era that I was interested in. I also turned him on to the ELVIS channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. My good friend Silver Lake Phil (see blog roll) burned me a copy of the famous comeback special 1968 - and I in turn made a copy for "A" who was delighted (it's out of print, apparently). "A" also burned me an Elvis Xmas CD last year - which I was equally delighted to receive.
Anyway... here's the King, as I like him best:

I love Elvis. And that's cause my Mom LOVES LOVES LOVES Elvis. So i always grew up with him in the house. One of my favorite songs of his is Suspicious Minds. And of course, nearly all his early work. I adore Heartbreak Hotel.
The bumper sticker cracked me up!
They always die young it seems
I love, love, love his sweaty chest in that video! Does that make me gross? I DON'T CARE!!
