The Real Congregation :: Elvis Is Everywhere! :: 05/08/12
There’s no mincing words here – like it or not, Elvis is the king of rock and roll, creating a wave of pandemonium and fan fervor the likes of which will probably never be seen again in our lifetime. Today, Marc With a C plays you a whole slew of tunes that reference Mr. Presley. Some times the tributes are done with love, while others are a bit more disdainful of the Elvis phenomenon, but all are fascinating looks at every aspect of Elvis’s effect on the world/pop culture as we know it.
