Before Elvis there was nothing. Truly the king.

That's gonna come as a helluva shock to Ike Turner, Fats Domino & Ray Charles plus all the other real cool cats who had been keeping the Rythym 'n Blues scene alive for years before Elvis gave up the driving.Having said that, Elvis was a heck of a Rocker.Unfortunately washed away in the X Factor sewage before the youth of today could appreciate how good he really was. (Prior to 1960).

Of course it is an exaggeration. The phrase is a John Lennon quote referring to the mans greatness.

The day Elvis passed away John Lennon was also quoted with "Elvis died the day he joined the army", and i could see his point. He had great tunes in the 50's, spent the 60's being contracted to films, and i can't listen to his 70's stuff myself.

Sweet Jesus!! You're entitled to your opinion but a smart man knows when to keep his nonsensical ones to himself. To say he was nothing special is simply wrong.

Ah I get it, this is meant to be rib tickling banter. You say something outlandish to 'wind up' people and then sit back hands clasped to your mouth to stifle your laughter as people react. Good one.

I've just celebrated Elvis's memory by having a Big Mac with extra cheese while sitting on the toilet.

Not really I just don't like his music-just because lots of people like his music doesn't mean everybody HAS to like his music. Obesely overweight karaoke singer by the end-shpit on me dickie.

Sadly, there wasnt the same outcome

Of course you don't have to like his music, that's personal taste but you said he was nothing special which is plainly rubbish. You wouldn't have to like classical music to accept Mozart had talent would you?
