if he was still going today, possibly his management team would have locked him in the kitchen a long time ago and told him to start writing his own songs.

you wont be able to exist on covers only for much longer elvis.

There are more aspects to making music than songwriting. And when you have that kind of charisma, stage presence, and one of the most versatile and recognizable voices in all of popular music, I think you can get away with doing covers or bringing in outside songwriters.

Happy birthday to the King!

Happy Birthday King of Rock and Roll!
Rockandroll,
Mops

Very possible he'd still be alive today. It's fascinating to contemplate where he'd be.

.... and if only he had have signed to Atlantic rather than RCA .... Atlantic couldn't come up with the dosh ...

She's 96 years young today. If anyone deserves their own thread here, I think she does. May she reign forever as a show biz treasure.

Happy Birthday Betty White. She's an inspiration. Hope she's enjoying her big day.

Man, I saw the name "Betty White" and my heart jumped. That's a day I hope is a long ways off.

Happy birthday!

Absolutely an inspiration. Happy birthday to the wonderful Betty White.

Somehow ,I do not think Betty reads this forum, but I could be wrong.

Happy Birthday Betty!

She is a treasure. Always brings a smile to my face.

Gold rings on Ya Betty White and best wishes and good health ( we should all have her good genes )

Happy Birthday to the late Jerry Garcia! He would have been 76 today.

Am listening to CD2 of Fillmore East April 1971 right now...nice release by Rhino...was hoping Dead & Co. would announce a European tour this year...

Happy Birthday Jerome

Here's an interview with Garcia from 1977.

Wow. Thought Mister B deserved a special shout out on this milestone. Wonder who among the rock generation will still be out doing music at 92. One of my faves by Tony:

Happy birthday Tony Bennett!

I took my mom to see him about 20 years ago, and that night I became a fan!

Classy guy!

Performing at 92? That's a seriously tall order...if they're still healthy, I could see Bruce or Neil doing solo shows here and there (for political rallies or charity benefits), with just an acoustic and a harmonica like Pete Seeger.

Other than something like that? Highly doubtful...of course no one expected to see the Stones performing well into their 70s, but 92 is quite a leap.

My wife took her 93yr. old mom to see him last april. not the 1st. time either. They said he was great! kudos to him!

Rock n roll founding father and country music great....
