True, buthose who hasted the Beatles seemed to love Elvis, because Elvis was a
God-fearing patriot, I guess. They decried his hip swivel thing, of course, but
could look past it as he was generally a good ol' boy from the South.

Me, t's all the mjsic & singing; Elvis take it there, IMO, over the Beatles. I
liked some of John's later works both with & after the band, but most of their
stuff was too simplistic for me. Not so I'd turn it off when it came on, but I
don't go out of my way to listen to it either.
