    It's insane. I recall watching the Beatles movies at the theatre. You could not hear a word because of all the girls squealing throughout the entire flick. Even as a kid it struck me as stupid and frightening, all at the same time...just like the adults who fell apart when Elvis (and Lady Di and Micheal Jackson) died.

    Ringo could. Did you see him in Caveman?
    -I laughed
    -I cried
    -I hit my girlfriend with a club

    (And he got Barbara Bach, who became Lady Starkey)

    Grit TV (an all-westerns station) is hosting Valentine's Day With The King. You can watch Elvis the Cowboy all day long. He's a burnin' hunk of saddle sores.

    Who you calling a dumbass, Elvis or Ringo? It has to be Ringo because Elvis is Like Marilyn, there will never be another of either of them.
    In one way or the other, fame killed both Elvis and Matilyn.

    I mostly like big band, jazz, blues, and classical. I've never been a huge rock 'n roll fan, and I do not like folks music or country (although I'll listen to bluegrass every now & then.) Rap speaks for itself.

    Favorite singer is hard to peg down. I like the classic singers: Tony Bennett, Jack Jones, Ella, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, and some of the blues artists like Robert Cray. I do like female rockers (Heart, Blondie, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett.)

    I played it in high school. It's from "Oliver." Or maybe "Oliver Twist." I can't recall which.
