Interview with Elvis…

Question: Has Rock N’ Roll died out?

Elvis: ‘A lot people say it is has’. ‘I’ll tell ya, It has changed some, the music itself has changed, it’s progressed quite a bit I think’.

Question: It’s better?’

Elvis: ‘I think it’s getting better all the time, you know, because the arrangements are getting better, they’re adding more instruments, and, you know so forth, it’s getting better, but in 1956 when I first started out, I was hearing the same thing, that Rock N Roll was dead, that it was dying out, I’m not saying that it won’t die out, because it maybe dead tomorrow, completely, I don’t know’.
