| the name Elvis pops up we see a young, raw, | | | | bunch of Elvis records. |
| tough-looking guy who changed the world, shaking | | | | Then there's poor Puerto Rican Latin meringue |
| his hips on stage and driving the girls wild! Forget | | | | singing sensation Elvis Crespo. You'd think even |
| about the fact that Grammy award winning and | | | | Hispanics like me who love his music would think |
| Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Elvis Costello | | | | of this multi-Grammy award winner when the |
| deserves recognition and respect. | | | | name "Elvis" appears, but talk to any Hispanic, |
| Ask, "Hey how about some Elvis songs?" at a | | | | including my mother who doesn't speak English, |
| party then follow it with the surname "Costello" | | | | and they'll tell you he's been taking a backseat to |
| while you're requesting Elvis, and the vast | | | | the original Elvis since he was born; you see, his |
| majority will say "What? Costello, who's that? Hey | | | | parents named him after Elvis Presley. The talent |
