Solving the Mystery of Heartbreak Hotel
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/ne...artbreak-hotel
""Heartbreak Hotel" had a colossal impact – both on Elvis' career and on rock & roll history. It was Elvis' first nationwide hit after a string of regional successes, and it changed the lives of countless future stars – John Lennon, George Harrison, Keith Richards and Robert Plant have all proclaimed its transformative effect. Elton John, recalling the day he first heard the song, said, "That weekend, my mum came home with 'Heartbreak Hotel' and that changed my life. ... Elvis Presley changed everyone's life. I mean, there would be no Beatles, there would be no Hendrix. There would be no Dylan." Paul McCartney once declared it nothing less than the most important artistic creation of the modern era."
I always think of that scene over the grave in Spinal Tap.
