I heard a political message in rock music. A liberation message. A message of freedom. I heard it in Elvis' voice.

Elvis Presley is all there is. There just ain't no more. Everything starts and ends with Elvis. He wrote the book. He is everything to do and not to do in the music business.

Talk about a dream, try to make it real.

Some guys they just give up living, and start dying little by little, piece by piece.

It's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin and can't stand the company.

Settle back is to settle without knowing.

You'll walk with me out on the wire, cuz baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider, but I gotta know how it feels... I want to know love is wild, babe, I want to know love is real.
