First and foremost: as I posted previously, I think it's wonderful that younger people (than me) are discovering Elvis C and that his fan base is not just graying, balding people like myself. But on the other hand, it's kind of hard for me to take when I read that someone listened to Imperial Bedroo...

Well put, Mr. Average. And to put it a different way, I would advise Elvis that not every person in the room who loves his music agrees with his politics. So as a musician you mold your politics into your music and let the music speak for itself. When you start taking silly potshots you just look li...

It sure feels strange to be an old-timer. I'm 40 years old and have been an Elvis worshipper for MORE THAN HALF OF MY LIFE...from the moment I first heard Armed Forces upon its original release (to save you from doing the math, I was 17). Sometimes, as I cruise through MTV-land, Rolling Stone magazi...

That's why I said earlier in this thread: I fear that Elvis will become more pedestrian if he continues to be more outspoken in this manner on politics. He does not seem to have original or insightful views, just an ability to zap liberals' raw nerves. On the other hand, when he channels his energie...

There may be good songs buried beneath poor arrangements and obnoxious production, but you wouldn't know that if we didn't hear the stripped down version of 'The Comedians', etc. . That is an absolutely valid point: if Roy Orbison hadn't NAILED The Comedians, I likely never would have gone back to ...

I can sympathize with cbartal, to a certain extent. When EC spends a career pretty much letting his music and lyrics speak for themselves, and then starts launching into political diatribes from the stage, it an be upsetting if you happen to disagree with his politics -- envigorating if you happen t...
