Elvis or Beatles ?? - Beyond Tiki

That is, of course until I bought the Carl Perkins DVD that was on HBO back in the eighties where Harrison and Ringo are there jamming with him. George Harrison is a huge legend at that point and he's just staring at Carl Perkins like he's some kinda god. That was so rad. Harrison is a hell of a guitar player himself but Perkins is untouchable in his own style. Mcartney put out a rockabilly record like six years ago. The Beatles were built on rockabilly. Anyway, I still think as a band they are a bunch of damn hippies that sing flower child non-sense (except for that song "While my Slowly Guitar Weeps", that one's pretty cool). So after all that, are you kidding? Elvis built the house, the Beatles just played there for awhile.
