Okay, Ern. And, Hook, it surely did look like Elvis was eatin' morethan the average bear. Are Cole Porter songs on the list? Dunno... will checkwhen I'm back in the studio. (I'm lazy.)

Quote:Yes, Elvis was a beatle maniac, too... And the Beatles, especially Lennon, became Dylan maniacs.With "Hide Your Love Away," Lennon changed the Beatles' lyrical approach. Quiz Time : What class of words (parts of speech) did the Beatles use as a lyrical device, especially before they got "Dylan-ized"? (Ah, that's too easy! )Quiz Time #2: What revolutionary guitarist was also a big Dylan fan?Ern
