You mean like this one? I'm not normally a fan of biopics, but I do normally like the documentaries that normally get produced alongside them. I would definitely watch one on Little Richard.

Really? When I was young, Elvis always seemed like a big joke. He was seen as a hillbilly who got rich and lived an excessive lifestyle, got fat, and died on the toilet.

What year were you born?

I was born in ‘78. While that point of view was definitely present while I was growing up, the standard narrative was that he was a rock legend and his swagger was cool. Especially when he was younger.

When I was a teen I think of the reverence U2 had for him in Rattle and Hum and the embracing of his style as cool in True Romance.

1970. I probably learned a lot of what I knew about Elvis by listening to Steve Dahl and Garry Meier mock him on Chicago radio constantly. They even made a TV show about him called "Greeting from Graceland" that I've never actually seen but looks like it is on Youtube.

Did not know that existed

Maybe HBO or somebody could put out a doc

That explains our different perceptions. So you saw him when he became "Fat Elvis," was putting out lesser work and dressing up like Shazam . But the time I was a little kid, he had been long since dead, and pop-culture was enjoying 50s nostalgia: Happy Days and Back to the Future for example. The only time I saw pictures or footage of Elvis during this time was when he was in his 50s prime. I also think him being a dead rock n roll legend played a part.

Little Richard on the other hand was a flamboyant senior citizen appearing on shows like Full House, and who supposedly made music according to Uncle Jesse.

Now, I've heard stuff like "You Ain't Nothin' But a Hound Dog" by Elvis all my life, so now it's boring. But for me there's a lot of Little Richard's music that I haven't heard of, so it sounds kind of fresh to me.
