My emphasis isn't on a singular entity. Quite the opposite. My emphasis is on too many entities many of which were not there in the best interest of music, which for me dilutes his integrity and lowers my opinion of not only his work but the pop genre who've taken on that business model and used it to absolutely obliterate mainstream music. But like I said just my opinion and nowt against the man himself who probably just love to perform. But for me he was just a pawn in the creation of a monster.
Quite. People like Simon Cowell & that ****ing Irish twat Louis ****stain are responsible for ruining music. Manufacturing bands and pushing them like ****. The first manufactured band I know of was The Monkees. Done by the US government to combat The Beatles success in the States. Did you watch that thing about Amy Winehouse on Friday night? Very insightful & heartbreaking really. What a **** her father was. Saw her as a cash cow the greedy bastard.
Turned off past the half way point. Was fast becoming predictable. Her Father and her fella were both ****ers who played massive parts in running the lass. I never got to see her live. She canceled the gig a half hour before the doors opened. I was gutted.
Aye, pretty much. Her bloke got her into drugs knowing she was already a chronic alcoholic. Her dad came across as a complete ****. Chucked her on a plane to Serbia when she was pissed & stoned to ****. I just feel really sorry for her. I had tears in my eyes watching it. The way she was handled, used & abused was ****ing appalling. Poor lass.
Elvis is that ****e that he's still riding high in theUK charts 39 years after he died. Aye must have been an untalented ****er that has conned millions of people for 60 years. Thats some fraud. No one has or ever will come close in popularity stakes.
I believe he has sold 200m singles and he started out during rationing over here, no talent needed, just the right manager, Hmm.
S***T went to one the first, at the old Roker Cinema, mate of mine said it would have been a canny film if he had died at the beginning and that summed it up. The Girl cant Help it was more our style by then, Elvis peaked about 1956 imo, at the time it was considered that Rock music or whatever you call it would only last six months and most including Elvis et al believed this, so diversification seemed the only way to go if you wanted a "career" in the entertainment "industry". Wrong of course but understandable at the time.
