Special Quote of the Week- Elvis Presley

To compliment our quote from Bob Dylan on our other blog "The Daily Vampire," we thought we'd quip the late Elvis Presley here.

If it were not for the fact that I was posting this from a public library in Bethesda, Md. (not where I really am!) which does not allow access to YouTube, I would post a video from 'The Turkish Elvis' Nevrez Caliskan, the 2008 European Elvis Impersonator champion, performing "Viva Las Vegas!" Apparently, Nevrez is so popular that he has even performed in Houston!

There is also a Russian emigre rock/swing band called The Red Elvises, which really bear no resemblance to the pride of Tupelo, Miss. But, they are performing close to their home turf (the band is based in Santa Monica, Cal.) with shows in Berkeley, Cal., on Friday, Nov. 26, Santa Cruz, Cal., on Nov. 27 and a performance in Sacramento on Nov. 28.

Similary a friend of mine's band Kyle Van Band performs at the Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, Cal., on Nov. 28. Perhaps, they will come 'up here' to suburban Maryland some time soon as well!

PS-Ooooops! I forgot to post Elvis' quip! Here it is:

"Don't criticize what you don't understand, son. You never walked in that man's shoes."
