Which of the following statement(s) about Elvis Presley would you agree with?

Here's a fun survey for those of you who like Elvis. Simply choose any of the following statements about Elvis you agree with.
I made up most of these statements on my own, but I threw in a few that were made by other people--which I enclosed in quotes along with the person who said it. The ones I made up are the ones not in quotes.

Votes	Answer
0	Rock 'n' roll died when Elvis did.
3	Dead or alive, Elvis is still the King.
6	"Before Elvis, there was nothing." - John Lennon
1	It would have been impossible for rock 'n' roll to survive had it not been for Elvis.
2	Even today's teens--who weren't even born until sometime after Elvis died--like Elvis as much as any teenager of the 50s ever did.
6	"Elvis taught white America to get down." - James Brown
14	Elvis is as American as baseball and apple pie.
4	Elvis should be honored with a national holiday.
2	"Elvis' death deprives our country of a part of itself." - former President Jimmy Carter
8	Bill Haley may have started rock 'n' roll; Alan Freed may have given rock 'n' roll its name; but it was Elvis who made rock 'n' roll famous.
11	Elvis is more popular in death than in life.
3	The day of Elvis' death should replace the day of Buddy Holly's death as "The Day the Music Died".
1	"When Elvis died, we all knew that we could, too." - a lyric from the Statler Brothers song, "A Child of the Fifties"
0	All of the above
5	Other (feel free to share your own opinion of Elvis)
9	None--I don't like Elvis, so it would be very hard for me to agree with any of these

moonstone	posted 23-Jul-2003 11:44pm Elvis is more popular in death than in life only because he's been dead longer than he was popular alive. Does that even make sense?
Amanda	posted 23-Jul-2003 11:51pm Elvis is more popular in death than in life. When I was a waitress, late one night a man came in that looked just like Elvis. A little while later, I thought he had left because his table was empty. I was acting goofy that night, so in my best Elvis voice, I said "Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building." About that time, I saw the man coming back from the bathroom. I was so embarrassed!! Luckily, he had a good sense of humor and left me a good tip!

darkshadowsseeker	posted 24-Jul-2003 7:22pm I didn't dislike Elvis, but I wasn't an Elvis fan either.
ElvisFan67	(reply to Amanda) posted 24-Jul-2003 8:12pm If he could have afforded it, he might would have bought you a new car like Elvis would have!
mandy	posted 24-Jul-2003 9:31pm How about Elvis' daughter is wild and sexy?
ElvisFan67	(reply to mandy) posted 24-Jul-2003 10:15pm Like father, like daughter, I suppose.
Amanda	(reply to ElvisFan67) posted 25-Jul-2003 1:09am I wish!
southernyankee	posted 25-Jul-2003 1:09am I dont really care for him. I think hes overrated, and 'rock and roll' (however you define it) would still be around if it werent for him. And no, we dont need a holiday for him, as if we didnt have enough useless one as it is, though there are a lot better ones that will never become. And I bet that I could come up with a few good example if I had ever been given the opportunity, not that I have.
kaleb777	posted 25-Jul-2003 1:50pm Other - Elvis can't act and had no business doing movies.
dora	posted 25-Jul-2003 4:51pm I agree only with the American one. Elvis is okay,but he's not Eddie Cochran
ElvisFan67	(reply to kaleb777) posted 25-Jul-2003 6:09pm I don't believe it was so much that Elvis couldn't act--he just never had the chance to prove himself as a serious actor like he had wanted to. Elvis himself often complained of this. He didn't want to keep doing goofy movies where he punched out a guy and then sang to him afterwards. But the songs, or soundtracks, from his movies are good.
kaleb777	(reply to ElvisFan67) posted 26-Jul-2003 3:46am If you say so.
romkey	posted 27-Jul-2003 10:12am "Before Elvis, there was nothing!" - Miss Bitters "Elvis is a American as baseball and apple pie" - I love the irony in this... because, yeah, he's also as American as pill-popping and overeating...
romkey	(reply to kaleb777) posted 27-Jul-2003 10:13am not being able to act while being a big movie star is very American!
kaleb777	(reply to romkey) posted 27-Jul-2003 3:51pm Yeah, Jeff Goldblum is a case in point.
OfTheSoul	posted 2-Aug-2003 8:38am Elvis has LEFT the BUILDING!
ElvisFan67	(reply to moonstone) posted 3-Aug-2003 9:17pm Let's see--let's do the math. Elvis became a national superstar in 1956, which makes that 21 years until the year he died (1977). As of this year (2003), he's been dead for 26 years. So yep, you're right! I guess that's what popularity can do for some folks.
