   True, buthose who hasted the Beatles seemed to love Elvis, because Elvis was a   
   God-fearing patriot, I guess. They decried his hip swivel thing, of course, but   
   could look past it as he was generally a good ol' boy from the South.   
      
   Me, t's all the mjsic & singing; Elvis take it there, IMO, over the Beatles. I   
   liked some of John's later works both with & after the band, but most of their   
   stuff was too simplistic for me. Not so I'd turn it off when it came on, but I   
   don't go out of my way to listen to it either.
