"We compare this to that and that to this and he to him and she to her but we don't compare Elvis to anybody or anybody to Elvis..."

Elvis was a BAD MAN.

Yesterday was a wash-out, so I got the chance to watch the new Elvis movie, which I thought was excellent. Tom Hanks's Colonel Tom Parker may have been a bit over the top, but overall the movie did a good job breaking down the sonic boom that was Presley's impact on a white world that had never seen anything like him before. All this despite casting a lead actor who looks more like Danny Zuko from Rydell High than Elvis Presley.
