    I have often wondered that about Elvis- he didn’t write any of his songs….so ‘King’? No, Crown Prince, maybe, but then that’s taken already…..

    I’ve thought for years that Carl Perkins was underrated. The guy wrote some great songs (the Beatles loved him) and did he ever rock. I like putting on headphones and cranking up his music every so often because you just don’t listen to Carl Perkins at a low volume.

    Similarly, I’ve felt that Elvis might be a little overrated. The pre-Army Elvis was as good as it got, but the post-Army version was essentially a self-caricature in a white jumpsuit.

    Elvis exploded onto the scene in a way that no one else had since Frank Sinatra, and that no one else would until the Beatles. And he was more talented than he seemed, both as a singer and as an actor; unfortunately, he signed with a manager that didn’t want to take artistic chances, and, being a good old-fashioned boy, he never seriously rebelled against that. Well, it’s happened to novelists and to actors and to athletes and to opera singers….

    From 1914 to 1979, thanks to the outcome of a lawsuit, Hans and Fritz and their entire supporting casts actually ran in two separate strips, “The Katzenjammer Kids” (the word, by the way, is German for "cats’ yowling”) and “The Captain and the Kids”. TKK started in 1897 and is still running today.

    The same thing had happened with the very first comic strip, “The Yellow Kid”, which received a clone under the name of “McFadden’s Row of Flats”. In both lawsuits, the court ruled that only the individual daily strips and the title were copyright, and belonged to the syndicate, while the characters and the situation were not copyrightable material in the first place, and so could be used equally by the syndicate and the creator.

    By the way, this would not work under present-day law.

    Got to say it doesn’t look much like Brenda Lee. Also you skipped the real 50’s singers, Eddie Fisher, Perry Como, the McGuire Sisters, etc.

    It’s Brenda Lee all right, probably done using the cover of “The Best of Brenda Lee” for reference.

    A really good joke would be running into a 1930’s era Fritzi Ritz and have Ooma say “Who is that?!?” and Nancy reply “I have no idea!”
