for the Blues (and
Everything That’s
Missing)
it seems the first release from
baz luhrmann’s new elvis musical
biopic is a song by doja cat called
‘vegas’ that riffs on ‘hound dog,’
which i find to be an intriguing,
even alluring way to introduce
the soon-to-be-released movie.
haven’t i mentioned that i’m a
fan of mister presley’s. yeah.
. . .
over the years, when asked
my favorite color, i’ve had
a few responses. when i was
a kid, that would always be
purple. as an adult, it’s fluc
tuated among purple, green,
orange and yellow. at least.
i’m pretty sure it’s never off
icially been blue, though. but
the blues, however, will always
get me. all shook. and stuff. here
is where i was going to list out for
you fifteen songs that were sung
by elvis with the word blue or blues
in the title. but now it seems too in
appropriate for me to do that. or, to
strike a better, if not more somber chord,
perhaps, it seems a bit too misappropriate.
