Tbf Thinking about it again I will now like to put the score down to 5/10 was a bit of a disappointment for me. Perhaps because I expected more of a horror element. It’s there but limited. It was Disappointingly average due to the amount of rushed ideas present throughout. Now on the the Elvis movie on Monday evening. One of the things I’m most excited about with the Elvis movie is it’s inclusion ofShow the spoiler
BB King, Little Richard, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Big Mama Thornton, and Arthur Crudup some of whom even have songs in the film. Long overdue and integral to music history.

Elvis was a pretty boy who barely wrote a song in his life
Buddy Holly had more talent in his arse hair and did more for music in his 18 month long career than Elvis ever did

I am mainly just going to see the movie because of the rave reviews it is getting . Plus anything with little Richard even a cameo is a must watch for me tbf. I do agree Elvis' appeal was mainly for his looks as much as his talent. Little Richard, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Fats Domino were all better tbf, I also prefer Big Mama Thornton's version of Hound Dog. And yes Chuck even though I Heard Chuck berry was a weird guy in his personal life as a artist he was was a triple threat , terrific songwriter/singer, amazing player, and fabulous entertainer. Jerry lee Lewis and Little Richard amazing entertainers as well . They were the originals and never got full credit. Or should have even more credit tbf.

Great soul voice for a southern white boy. He had the black market more than any other white artist

That's what it's called right?
Chaotic, hilarious, a little over the top. It's a mental sci-fi with some loopy metaphors which are a bit hit and miss, but overall great. Had my girlfriend in tears as it's essentially about Asian parent/child dynamics and the generational difference in how love is expressed.
My girlfriend is a ridiculously high achieving lawyer that was 2 years ahead in school and a nationally ranked swimmer in Hong Kong (not known for their swimming of course, but she's 5'2" and was beating 6'3" Ausie guys with ease)...... still not good enough for her parents though :lol:

Aware of that but buddy played rock n roll, as did the beatles. Elvis was different, they all played a part in moving music to the shit show it is now, if i had to pick any true master for me it would be chuck berry and jimi hendrix

You wanna talk about peeps from that era with weird personal lives, check out Jerry Lee Lewis
But I agree regards the rest. Chuck Berry was arguably the most important musician of all time....and I do mean ALL time going all the way back to when man first clapped his hands
