I find the comparison of Elvis to Justin Bieber to be extremely offensive. Elvis was The King back in his respective day, while Justin Bieber is a mere peasant in retrospect. One would not compare Ella Fitzgerald to Miley Cyrus, or Pavarotti to Eminem.

He was broke and washed-out in '77. My family nursed him back to health, paid his rehab bills, and (after getting him back on track) I trained him and gave him a job at the woodwind bench. He does absolutely *beautiful* clarinet and flute work. Saxes...so-so (but don't tell him I said so...He thinks sax work is his "specialty".)
So Elvis joined the great Memphis exodus and moved to Blokeville
where the livin' is easy and the fish are jumpin'

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
