Ultimately, at the same time, Elvis Presley changed everybody's life.
Except I think he was
They had the Dorothy Brothers, it was his first performance.
I was
My mom had a picture of me with chickenpox in front of the TV, in front of the Christmas
tree in the TV, with a ukulele in my hand, and I was in first grade.
So that was
That's what, six?
Oh, that was 1907.
God, you look good!
I wouldn't be wearing that.
Here's your
You don't have to give me dates.
Now, how old were you when that
I was in first grade.
First grade.
Which is what, six or seven?
Seven.
Yeah, seven, yeah.
That
Elvis doing that, I can't
I don't think it was Hound Dog, the first song he did.
Jailhouse Rock.
Was it Jailhouse Rock?
Yeah.
Whatever the
It was pretty cute, I can't
It could have been.
Whatever the song was that Elvis did, it was [Bb] a piece of black music from the Delta, which
came out of such an incredible cauldron of influences from field songs and church music,
and then this incredible African tradition of [N] hollering, field hollering, that we all,
you know, when
Whatever it was, you know, one, two, pi, that's kind of jail!
You'd be like, what is that?
And he was doing all this stuff, and we all went, mom, I'm gonna do that.
And it's a white guy.
But the thing was, at that age, I think our moms all thought it was cute.

But when the Beatles came around, it was a threat to our fathers.
It was a bit of a threat to our
Elvis wasn't a threat, and the Beatles were a threat?
Well, I think perhaps in our own microcosm of our families, when your dad looks at you
and you're still in the first grade and you're imitating this thing, I think he looks, oh,
that's cute.
Yeah.
But when you reach this, you know, puberty, you're 13 or 14 years old, and you're seeing
the Beatles on TV, there was a sexuality there that was very immediate, because you
were in that moment yourself.
So I recall all the dads being real threatened.
I remember jumping up and going into the bathroom and combing my hair down.
Yeah, it was the gay thing.
And then I came back out, and my dad was like, get back, there's a brokery!
Yeah.
So, but the voice.
When did you know that you had a voice?
I don't know.
Then I started writing lyrics.
So then I was into
You started writing lyrics before you knew you were going to sing?
Yeah.
In part because of some of the countries, remember that tune, Johnny Horton song?
In 1814, we took a little trip.
And because those lyrics were so, yeah, along with Colonel Jackson down to mighty Mississippi,
we took a little bacon and we took a little beans and we bought the bloody battle of it
down in New Orleans.
Well, that was the same as, you know, down in Louisiana, down in New Orleans, where I was.
And I was like, I could be the worst man they ever brings.
Which came out of, I found out later, a whole series of writers that were in the 40s and
in Arkansas and Mississippi, right around that area.
So that whole thing was working there about 10 years before it got to us.
Rock and Roll was an African-American euphemism for making love.
Right.
And then Alan Freed got ahold of the title.
It was such a great, catchy title.
And with Maybelline, suddenly, you know, it was a pretty deep and
