Vidste du det om Elvis?

Vidste du, at Elvis var blond?

Det står i The NY'er, så det må være rigtigt:

Back downstairs, John Strausbaugh, a journalist and the author of several books about music and pop culture, riffed about the evolution of hair styles in rock and roll, citing images from his collection of old LPs. ("Elvis was a natural blond until after high school. He dyed his hair blue-black to look like a comic-book hero.... With every album, Bowie changes his hair style and his musical style. See, there's that futuristic duck's ass, and he's kind of inventing the mullet.")
(The New Yorker, 14. marts 2011, min fremhævning - red.)

John Strausbaugh er skidegod, han plejede at skrive Making Book i The NY Press.


PS I skolen skrev jeg en opgave, hvor jeg påpegede, at Elvis lignede klassiske statuer.

PPS Den samme tanke dukkede op i Mystery Train. Folk ser Elvis allevegne!


Elvis looks like a classic statue.

Elvis looks like the Statue of Liberty in New York.

Elvis as Buddha.

Madonna looks like Elvis.

– Elvis som Madonna? Nej, ikke det!

PPPS Her er et andet eksempel:


1800 år gammel romersk statue.


Elvis 1968.

PPPPS Der er en hel hjemmeside med billeder af statuer, der ligner Elvis. Haha!
