    by “politically correct,” standards I am a RACIST … because whenever I see a group of BLACK men holding instruments, I will ALWAYS give in to my bias to listen intently.

    this video sends a message, the message is that music should be listened to, not the look of there artist to sell records. people where expected to adjust and comform to what the record companies wanted. ie sellout.

    Come on, Elvis …
    Come on, Elvis kicked ass. So do all the real black musicians. Elvis had a good voice and a cool stage presence. Besides, he never wanted to take the credit for himself. He always mentioned all of those that influenced him as the true fathers of Rock ‘N’ Roll. But also saying that black music was all that he did is unjust. And calling him a racist hillbilly makes YOU the racist. I don’t think Elvis was a racist nor the king of rock and roll, but he became who he was due to talent.

    Don’t “miss Living Colour”. They’ve been back since 2001. Two new studio albums Collideoscope and The Chair In The Doorway and three or four live albums, including The Paris Concert and the CBGB show with Soldier’s Blues and Little Lies. They’ve been touring. “Flying”: great song about 9/11. “Behind The Sun”: great song about Katrina.

    @TheNewsoul2 give it a rest bro…you don’t know more than anyone else about music or elvis…he outsold everyone based on talent….take your elvis hating and jump off a bridge. and give me one example of elvis being racist…i’m pretty sure you don’t know the definition of the word….

    @mfbinc
    And you …

    @mfbinc
    And you can’t deny Elvis was a white racist redneck pill popping hillbilly heroin addict who died taking a “shit on his throne” on August 16, 1977. He had one or two good songs but he was medicore from 1957 to the day he died, he couldn’t think for himself took pills to drink, fuck, . I call that a sorry human being on top of his other flaws, he was no “King of Rock ” he was the product of good promotion nothing more.

    @lalamango1 ya ok…..chuck berry wrote 4 great songs and tried to make a living copying them. his voice was mediocre and he could not sing the variety of songs that elvis could. there was a reason elvis outsold everyone…he was better than everyone. accept it and your life will be a happier one.
