I feel like I need to say it. Anyone who didn't vote for Change of Habit ain't never caught a rabbit.

Looking forward to the rollout. Just was reminded of some good Elvis trivia I may hit you with at the appropriate moment.

I only sort of recently got into Elvis, so I still have a lot of blind spots in his discography and I'm sure that skewed my ballot a bit. I know I left off a number of deserving songs and have been second guessing it ever since I hit send.
(But I'm not second guessing my vote for Crawfish!)

TBH getting a little impatient for the rollout to start. Posting in the thread is like spending an hour or two talking myself out to my roommate before I leave for the party

Saw the Eugene Jarecki film today (which I had been mixing up with the other Elvis documentary until literally after it was over, when I got some clarification from a friend)--fascinating. The very pointed Trump element is definitely heavy-handed now and again, but not to the extent (for me, at least) that it ruins the film. Chuck D is excellent. Actually, I liked all three viewpoints on the cultural-appropriation question: Chuck D, Van Jones, and David Simon. Still have to see the other film.

btw listened to the 68 comeback special today, some days that's my favorite music in the world. those versions of "One Night", it's usually corny to say music sounds elemental, of the earth, but dang if those performances aren't like that, like the earth groaning

68 Comeback Special is playing in selected theaters in the US in August I am v excited https://www.fathomevents.com/events/elvis-68-comeback-special

Thought about putting “One Night” but couldn’t quite get there. Really my ballot is just a snapshot of how I felt that day, that hour, except for my Number One.

The '68 show gets 5-10 minutes in the Jarecki film. The Colonel wanted 25 Christmas songs!

Euler do you have the results so I can help with the images? I’ll have several free hours tomorrow to help out. Will you do the rollout? If i’m doing it I’ll also need the results on Sunday so I can do both the images and the rollout simultaneously on Monday.

I'm sure this was said in a meeting somewhere: "If we can find a gay African-American man who has the Billy Ray Cyrus sound and the Billy Ray Cyrus feel, we can get a billion hits on YouTube."

Rock and Roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can’t help but POLL it.
