voice I just knew that I

anybody; and nobody was

Say what you will about the "bloated" Elvis, his voice was never better than during his later years. He had a depth and maturity of sound that few aging rockers can claim.

who cares what songs Elvis wrote?? His beautiful voice made them all great. BTW: Any one who can only refer to Elvis as bloated etc has their head up their ass and is a moron. Elvis had a long career and unfortunately you can only refer to a very small part of it which may have turned around had he survived those last couple of years. He was human was going through some bad times

It's not as though that's a big secret. Bob Dylan's real name was Zimmerman and he swiped Dylan from the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Walk Not Softly Into That Great Good Night
Rage! Rage Against the Dying of the Light!). I apologize to all of you who knew that already, but someone had to enlighten the idiots.

JP, That's not a secret. Dylan's real name was Zimmerman and he took Dylan from the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. I'm guessing you took JP from J.P. Richardson, better known as the Big Bopper. Who really cares?

What, your big concern is the guy's stage name? I'm gonna guess that your favorite form of entertainment is, God help us all, RAP. Flame on baby, flame on.

Ooooh Elvis changed the life of an Upper Middle Class dork... Let's all applaud Bob "Dylan". For the uninformed amongst you... "Dylan" wasn't even close to this little chickenshit's real name!
