- I have more songs about Elvis than I have songs by Elvis. I am not entirely sure what this means.
- There are apparently a lot of songs on my iPod that I have absolutely no recollection of putting on there, and more than a few I would have been prepared to swear I'd never even heard of. This is one of the many things that makes random shuffle an entertaining experience.

This is a long time after your post, but I just thought of it.
ReplyDeleteHere's how to tell who really is the "king". I'll bet there are more songs about Elvis Presley than there are about Michael Jackson.
Undoubtedly. But give it time, and I bet we'll see more of the latter.
