Elvis and the Muppets

Not sure on that-John Lennon appeared on Talk shows, Paul McCartney did also-they also made videos that were run on prime time USA shows to promote new songs-Hey Jude, Revolution both were on the Smothers Brothers show (if I recall correctly) in the late 60s.....they were not common coin. and they did not become common coin.
A very rare special ancient Roman coin is still special - whether its in a Salvation Army pot or a New York Museum.
Elvis showing his humor, showing knowledge of the world around him would have been nothing but a plus for him, not to mention performing new music that he was proud of and showing off that voice to people who did not follow him.

I mean you see some of these celebs too often and Elvis becomes just like them if he had done that.

I thought Lennon did appear on talk shows a little too much but i wasn't really referring to him so much.

Lennon appeared on talks shows even when he had nothing to promote.

It doesn't matter how many times an artist performs a new song or is interviewed, if you don't like them you won't buy into it. Being constantly pushed into the lives of the unsuspecting works two ways, you either lap it up or you ignore it.

Look at how today's artists are exposed to the general public. They make the same music, use the same producers, fake twitter feuds, fake relationships and breakups, go on every talk show they can, make documentaries, make films, they are everywhere, you are exposed to every minute detail of their lives, it is so repetitious. It really is worrying that people are so easily manipulated by it.
