[afterthefact]

I can't do Elvis. Maybe it's just a mental thing, because of how over-hyped he is. I mean, sure, I can see how at the time he would be big, but only because of what he was doing and how he was changing music. I don't feel like his music was really so great to have such longevity.

It reminds me of the time I was in Brazil and I was with the unkle of my girlfriend at the time, and we stopped by this old lady's house for something, and she hardly spoke any English. Paul told her I was from America, and in her limited English, she asked me a couple of times "You like Elvis? Elvis?" I figured she was trying to relate with me, since I was from America and Elvis is such a huge American icon, so I just went along and said "sure." Little did I know that this little old Brazillian woman had about every Elvis record imaginable. She took me into a room and I swear, this woman had to have a copy of every release of every Elvis album ever made; the shelves were just full of them. It blew me away.
