Frank VS Elvis
|
|
|
I have these friends who are really into Frank Sinatra. They're always going, "Frank this", "Frank that". Come on. It's not like he was Elvis. Sure, I see some similarities. Both were teen idols. Both made some pretty good movies. Both forgot the words to their songs. But I have to point out, E. forgot the words to his songs first. Where'd you get that idea from, Frank? Another thing I must point out: Frank is just a mere mortal. No one's walking around saying, "I just saw Frank Sinatra in the Burger King." We all know about Frank hanging out with the Rat Pack. Celebrities. On the other hand, E. hung out with his Memphis Mafia. Sonny, Red, his dad Vernon. Real People. 'Cause E. wanted to stay in touch with the common man. E. never let being a star go to his head. |

I think the main thing that puts E. up over Frank is a little thing called a Black Belt in Kempo Karate. Frank just wasn't hip to the mystic eastern arts. You got the King Of Rock n Roll. You got the Chairman of the Board. You got the Memphis Tiger. Frank didn't have any nick name denoting his martial arts ability. There was no Las Vegas Leopard, no Palm Springs Panther, no Hoboken Hawk. When was the last time you saw a picture of Frank in White Crane or Monkey? Never. I know you all are thinking, "White Crane, Monkey? That's Kung Fu, not Kempo." Hey, E. studied all the styles. The King knew the importance of controlling his Chi.
