American Idiot

American Trilogy - Elvis

Although the tune is taken from a Southern/Confederate battle hymn, which name escapes me.

Its also the accecpted standard finishing song to any Elvis party/fans convention/festival, where all the fans line up in unison.

Played at big Ds wake last year at the Abbeymead, it raised the roof.

I wish I was in Dixie. But it also has the Battle hymn of the Republic/John Browns Body (Glory, Glory) which was sung by the northern/federal soldiers and All my trials which is a folk/spiritual song popular in the civil rights movement.

It's great. I love the bus ride they make you take to the Mansion which takes up across the street and about 20 yards up his drive to the front door.

Memphis is a great city.

DA9

Its a fine place in parts, surprising how many antique shops they have, mostly our our antiques mind.

Did Elvis week in 2002 for the 25th Anniversary, did Humes High (missed Tupelo - hangover) got to meet and shake hands with Charlie Hodge & Joe Esposito, and did the Video concert in the pyramid with Lisa & Pricilla there, trip of a lifetime which I will never forget.

We did the tour twice to take it all in, great headphones, and quite emotional in the raquet court with the piano etc.

Hovi's Biscuit

America Is Not The World - Morrissey

Alex Wright

This land is your land, this land is my land...........

Henry, are you an Elvis fan or did the trip out of interest?

Henry Irving

I was touring the states and if you are in Memphis you have to go to Graceland.

I love his early Sun stuff and the 68 comeback concert is great but wouldn't call myself a big "fan".

We do owe a big debt to him for merging black R & B/blues with white country/blue grass to create rock and roll as we know it. There was already a big cross over but no Elvis no rock and roll, no Beatles, Clash, Oasis, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye etc, etc and we'd all be listening to crooners and light musicals

I was actually part of a 68 comeback tribute night the other week in Dartford, young lad Lee Jackson played the part, recreated the whole sit down jamming session, I was back up vocals and percussion, great experience, hoping to do more of it, Lee is the image of him at an early age.
