You can call his guitar style Delta Blues, Swamp Rock. Whatever. But he sure could play his guitar.
3 versions. First, black and white (poor quality, the version that we all listened to back then); then a better quality audio, with a bass player and a drummer; and finally, Elvis's version, complete with pure Elvis moves.
Think it was one of Letterman's last shows.
a name World War 2 pilots attributed to UFOs
That term for UFOs came from the strip, in fact, not the other way around.
In every strip there were nonsense words, usually "Foo" and "Notary Sojac". I'm not sure what drugs the cartoonist Bill Holman was on, but they must have been fun.
It is not a salad named after the 11th president of the United States.
Yes, I know, Tony Joe White did use "Polk". It's always bugged me.
I saw that when researching the song, but used the name put on the sleeve of his record.
I saw either a movie or a TV show where the main character is in vegas and he befriends an Elvis who has lost his confidence and insticts and is at the mercy of the colonel but doesn't know if he can trust him. At some point the protagonist is watching him perform this song in Vegas.
What the hell am I thinking of ? It's been driving me crazy for months. Was it an episode of Mad Men ?
It was an episode of the short lived Scorcese/HBO show Vinyl
Episode basically revolved around the filing of these shows
A period I'd refer to a s plump Elvis. Damn he could bring it.
but I don't think it was related to what you mention.
At any rate, "Vinyl" was pretty good.
I was surprised many years ago when I first learned that Tony Joe was actually, well, white.
