I Got A Woman That's Mean As

I Saw Elvis Live In '54. It Was At The Big D Jamboree In Dallas And The First Thing, He Came Out And Spit On The Stage...it Affected Me Exactly The Same Way As When I First Saw That David Lynch Film. There Was Just No Reference Point In The Culture To Compare It To.

I Waited, And I’m Sure Elvis Did Too, For Each Ricky Nelson Record Like We Would A Chuck Berry Record Or A Fats Domino Record, To See What Was Going On. I Used To Say To Some Of The Guys That Ricky Nelson Learned To Sing On Million Selling Records.

Elvis Presley Was Bigger Than Life. His Success Was Documented And Laid Out For Him. He Came To The First Show I Had In Memphis, And It Was Very Nice. He Sort Of Treated Me Like An Equal, Because We Were Both Fresh In The Business. We Got To Be Great Friends And Kindred Souls.

Elvis Was The Firstest With The Mostest.

People Often Ask Me How Would I Like To Be Remembered And I Answer That I Would Simply Like To Be Remembered.
