WWE RAW LD 2/7/2011 - Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

What about that other guy? The guy that played the guitar? Ahh, nevermind, I'm sure he wasn't important at all....

Elvis sucks. Took something special and edgy and made it safe so old sheltered WASPs could listen to it and not be scared.

The one that married his 13 year old cousin? Jerry Lee Lewis..the Great Balls of Fire singer... great movie. I still liked the Elvis and Me movie better.

JGlass...umm...in fact Elvis was considered a revolutionary for his time. He was a gospel/pop-rock singer for the times back then. What he did back in those days was considered "Vulgar" when you consider his dancing, and he was only allowed to be filmed from the waist up, and after a certain hour. He did make it possible for people to start getting interested in blues because that's how he did his take on blues. Granted not everyone agreed with his songs, but people got interested in his influences.
 
Cena just randomly gangsta handshaked some dude...lol, Cena does some random shit on the way to the ring.

Elvis took rock and roll and watered it down to make it safe. The people who were listening to it weren't the rebels and revolutionaries, they were the mainstream, the status quo. He was not a revolutionary, he was an entertainer.
