Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant $^*# to me.....
I loved this episode, Elvis has never been portrayed in a more true light.
Victory is Mine!!!

I don't think that is really fair. What Elvis started out as, and what he became are two different animals (Even Black Dynamite acknowledged this when he was slapping him around). Also bear in mind that especially back then, a lot of people legitimately didn't understand what negative effects prolonged drug use (especially prescription drug use) could have on a person. He's not the first celeb (or person in general) that was destroyed by that, and especially from back then.
I know it's a dirty game, but it's the only one The Man left us to play.share
I think he meant that the episode told the truth that Elvis stole much of his material from black artists back in the day
shareYeah, God Forbid a white person play "black music". That racist piece of sh!t even had the nerve to go around the south in the 1950s telling people that he wasn't doing anything new and that black folks had been playing his music for years.

In your heart, you know he might...
maybe because i'm not white, but i HATE Elvis. He is sorely overrated and did nothing but what black people had been doing for years but it was only "acceptable" when a white dude stole it. He can't act, can't sing, overall he's probably just another pretty face...kinda like Kurt Cobain.

Haha I get it.
You just killed my girlfriend.....thats actually....kinda pissing me off....huh....
Kurt Cobain was mediocre at best with a whiney voice. Looks like he beat me to it by blowing his brains out which I'm thankful for. Which had he lived he would've faded into obscurity to after his looks started to fade. Doing shows at little clubs and cafes by himself. I use to be a Nirvana fan, when I was 14 then I grew up. He's not a hero, he didn't do anything innovative, and he didn't start anything but a horrible flannel fad and strike on bathing.
