For you new guys, this is what we call an "MB Staple". Boo Boo has reposted something thats been said probably a dozen times on these boards, whats great about this one is, well two things:
1. His attention paid to unoriginality while being unoriginal himself
2. Its not germane to the topic. Originality was never something I said, nor was the original post.
Actually, elvis took far more from the blues artists (american) than anyone else, and that is some common knowledge its disgusting.
All of this is still irrelevent because Elvis and Bob Dylan account for everything we hear today (save for a fractional 5% maybe) by at most, a two degree seperation.
