Well I don't know if that was sarcastic or not but I'm sure it was reasonably obvious from my title that I was referring to the Eminem lyric along the lines of 'embarassed their parents still listen to Elvis' and positing that Elvis, although important historically, had v. little actual relevance to People Of My Age.

Elvis was actually a pretty hard sell even to Generation Rock Steady Crew - it took me ages to like him even a little, doing Popular and having to think about him more helped, and then establishing "Jailhouse Rock" as a terrific end-of-night track at Poptimism was the first time I actually loved him.

'and then establishing "Jailhouse Rock" as a terrific end-of-night track at Poptimism'

At Club Popular unsurprisingly but I've used the trick a cpl times since (not actually at Poptimism I grant you)
