the fans, ever since the late 60s. As much as I look forward to
Ernst's definitive work, it forever will end many dreams of ever
hearing certain tracks - that probably dont even excist - such as
Uncle Pen ( one N at the end, not 2) or Tennessee Saturday Night?
Certain aspects of the Sun era forever should be clouded in
mystery... Knowing blondie's in-depth research skills, little will
be left to our imagination, when the book and cds see their release.
... So, Ernst, take your time... I can wait another so many years,
before its all there in print.
God forbid, if this mb will be filled with even more brainles topics,
than we already have from young guys gettin' a hard on cooking
up set lists of songs he should have performed... but didnt.
Or more "whats your favourite tv Live performance?"- and leaving
out all 50s performances on a list to choose from...
... Two years ago, when I first came to this site, a lot was going
on... these days its going downhill fast. Kindergarten have taken
over. Many contributers have left, or were kicked off.
... Are we all running out of fuel lately... I am.
Ger, you sure sound like a Mother F... sometimes...
But you tell it like it is, or rather more so how you
personally feel....
All good things usually do come to an end.....sadly
Whatever small surprise's could be left will be far an
in between....some things will die with private collectors
while other items may eventually come out at some point...
But, then sadly we will either be dead or too old to care......
At the same time like you said, Ernst can take his time on
the SUN project, no rush for me as much as I'am looking
forward to this too, I want it packed with as much information
as possible....
Ger, the one thing you have done, which appears this
way sometimes, outside looking in, is you have limited
yourself or rather cherry picked only certain events or
certain music from Elvis' long career....which is fine....
because that's you.....don't change now....
By saying this I don't mean you have to go out wearing a
jumpsuit or even like them, but sometimes you do
appear to have a little too much anger as to how Elvis
turned out....
For me, there is certainly some disappointment,
as there could have been so much more the man
could have done if he would have
stayed in shape psychically and mentally....
as well as stayed into a little more Rock n Roll...
an not some much the sappy or country material,
but hey, that part of it...an it is what it is...
When it comes to the younger people getting into Elvis
it's a cool thing....
Some find Elvis though his 50's music while other's find
him through his 60's or 70's music....and yes in even
through the odd Remix....or through change of some kind..
Personally I don't care how they get there just as long
as they get there and become a fan.....
Some are on top of things and are very knowledgeable
on Elvis, while others are not....it goes with the territory...
Hell, some have been into Elvis since the 50's
and still don't know a whole lot....an just
stay that Teddy Bear fan, nice to know they are
fans too, but I could do without...
Anyway, as a miserable as you may sound some
times...
It's people like you who we appreciate, at least I do...
Granted, it would be nice if you were into the other stages
of Elvis' career a little more, but hey you are what you are...
This board still isn't all that bad yet Ger, any thread
you don't like just move on of course, but at least there
is actively, at the same time lets hope it doesn't
turn to a Teddy Bear board....as it will then be time
to move on for me too.....not that anyone would care...
But I think we would care about you leaving...hang
in there Ger, hell man, your pushing 60 your not dead
yet, and neither is Elvis in one way either, music wise...
