You Ain't-A Nuthin' But A Hound Dog

With my spare time I like to write songs. It's an excellent way to vent out frustrations. The other night I had a dream that I began writing songs for musicians, but wasn't getting any credit for it. I woke up the next morning with a strange feeling. I felt like I had a part of me stolen away. It made me think about how many white musicians during the 40's and 50's stole black songs. I mean, Elvis Presley has and always will be a music icon in pop culture. I grew up referring to him as the king of rock n' roll. The fact that one of his most famous songs wasn't even his gave me a whole different perception of him.
