“It seems to me hilarious that our government put the face of Elvis Presley on a postage stamp after he died from an overdose of drugs. His fans don’t mention that because they don’t want to give up their myths. They ignore the fact that he was a drug addict and claim he invented rock ‘n’ roll when in fact he took it from black culture.”

Mi fa ridere il fatto che il nostro governo metta la faccia di Elvis sui francobolli nonostante lui sia morto per overdose. I suoi fan tacciono su questo aspetto perché non vogliono rinunciare al mito che Elvis rappresenta per loro. Ignorano il fatto che era un tossico e che ha rivendicato per sé l'invenzione del rock'n'roll, quando invece lo ha preso dalla cultura dei neri.
