Subject: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: Wesley S Date: 16 Aug 06 - 12:59 PM Twenty nine years ago today Elvis had his last hit. It was the bathroom floor. I'll be sending my condolences to my sister - a big Elvis fan. The King is dead. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: John MacKenzie Date: 16 Aug 06 - 02:47 PM Certain people with an over inflated idea of their own importance seem to think that if you don't share their tastes in 'whatever' you must by devoid of taste. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: John on the Sunset Coast Date: 16 Aug 06 - 08:42 PM Actually Elvis died years before that. When he turned fat, donned Liberace-type costumes, and parodied himself (unintentionally, I'm sure) on stage. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: Slag Date: 17 Aug 06 - 02:42 AM 'fraid Sgt. Pepper was farther back that 29 years. Try 1967. Ebbie, I agree. Yeah Elvis was a Phee-nom alright. He actually got to where he could sing quite well then he hit the long slide down. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: Big Al Whittle Date: 17 Aug 06 - 03:45 AM I loved Elvis and his music. I'm sorry he got ripped off, and his life had its difficulties. However he worked in a business, where that sort of thing happens - and its happened even worse to some people. At least he always had a roof over his head. Considering his poor background and his tremendous contribution, I have the uneasy feeling that more of you ought to be saying nicer things about him. Judge not, lest ye be judged. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Aug 06 - 04:32 AM 'In the Ghetto' was his finest hour, and should still be sung in folk clubs throughout the world, it has all the necessary ingredients to qualify as a folk song. G. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: Dave Hanson Date: 17 Aug 06 - 04:38 AM Elvis Costello was never alive to begin with, he was invented by a music hater to punish people with good taste. eric |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Aug 06 - 04:40 AM And it was '20 years ago today, Sgt Pepper taught the band to play', not 29... they just never tell you which day. Funny how I'm the only person who remembers 'There's no room to rhumba in a sports car'.... from one of the Hawaiian films. LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 Aug 06 - 04:44 AM Sorry Eric I am an Elvis Costello admirer, not only can he write great songs but he also had the sense to marry Diana Krall! G. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: gnu Date: 17 Aug 06 - 04:48 AM Costello is a musical genious whose talent spans many genres. Apparently, you have not been exposed to the breadth and depth of his works. |

Subject: RE: BS: 29 years ago today..... From: John O'L Date: 17 Aug 06 - 05:14 AM Both the Elves (collective noun - one Elvis, several Elves) gave us a lot and neither should be under-rated. |
