Wow I didnt know that Paul Simon cried after Elvis performed Bridge Over Troubled Water. What is there not to like about Elvis? Elvis is everywhere. So many people and things are influenced by Elvis.
Rocknroll- You are right on the money with that post.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley

Try telling that to Johnny Rotten. He hates Elvis. Always has.Originally Posted by rocknroll
Everyone is an Elvis fan, just not everyone admits it.
Getlo - cute'n'cuddly
It's a good thing that Johnny Rotten is irrelevant.
- Bruce Springsteen: Climbed the gates of Graceland in Elvis' lifetime, made it to the front door - only to find that Elvis wasn't in.
Well, Bruce may have climbed over the fence but Gail crawled under the fence and HE WAS HOME!! Unfortunately, so were the dogs!
Forever Best Friends
Which one of us needs to bring a shovel on our next trip??
What I said still applies....good ol' Johhny is just one of the ones who won't admit it.
Reg Presley ( no relation) was a big Elvis fan and started his group" 10 years after" so called because it was 10 years after Elvis started

Are you sure? I think Alvin Lee started 10 Years After. I recalled Reg wrote "Love Is All Around" in the 60s and started the Troggs.
Reg Presley (born Reginald Maurice Ball on June 12, 1941,[1] in Andover, Hampshire) is an English singer/songwriter. He is best known as the lead singer with prominent 1960s rock and roll band The Troggs, whose biggest hit was "Wild Thing".
His most famous composition is "Love Is All Around". When this song was covered by Wet Wet Wet in 1994, it stayed at No. 1 in the UK singles chart for fifteen weeks, and Presley famously spent his proceeds on crop circle research.

Daddy, I miss you more every day. You will always be my hero..
I hate him too..
Just kiddingI guess that's his choice hey
(Sorry, in a happy mood)
I loathe Rotten and all punk music (it is the cancer of music, IMO), but one cannot deny his relevance in popular music.
No. Rotten would never say antying unless he meant it. When Elvis died, he reportedly said "Good riddance to bad rubbish".

sorry I stand corrected it was Alvin Lee, although I did see an interview with Reg and he admitted being a big Elvis fan
You take what I post too literally.....and seriously.
I think Robbie Williams is a fan too,

A song about Elvis, he sung.
William F Buckley, who died this past February, seems to have been a 'closet' Elvis Fan. He wrote, among other things, Elvis in the Morning. The book was mostly about a young army brat who meets Elvis in Germany, but through his life maintains a unique relationship with Elvis. I read this book with a dictionary close at hand.
Also, a fan, Josh Duhamel from Las Vegas, All My Children fame
Just pretend, I'm holding you, and whispering things soft and low.
And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go
Add the french president to the list...He made a speach in front of an american audience and gave lots of reason why the USA was a great country, Elvis was one of them
Funny how many singers are Elvis fans...I guess a lot of them were influenced by him. If Elvis had not existed, we would have never discovered lots of talents..
Is he really Lisa?? I LOVED him when he played Leo on ALL MY CHILDREN!!
Isn't he a cutie? In 2006, the Las Vegas Christmas show featured an Elvis theme. TV Guide ran a feature on the show [remember the special Elvis dvd's on the covers?] and Josh admitted to being an Elvis fan [and wanting either the Pink Cadillac or a costume, I forget which!Is he really Lisa?? I LOVED him when he played Leo on ALL MY CHILDREN!!]
