August 12 - Eric Idle's iTunes Playlist

Looking thru celebrity's iTunes list. Elvis not appearing on anyone's so far except Eric Idle, who says about "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" - "Went #1 in the UK which shows how smart Brits are." I choose to believe he is not being sarcastic. He also picks Roy Orbison's In Dreams and says "Love Him, Best Voice in Rock, not me, Elvis said that."

P.S. Billy Idol picked "Promised Land," saying "I play this when I just want to feel good." And Andrew Lloyd Webber picks Jail House Rock "Still hitting number one in the UK in 2005 -- what more can I say?"

Note: all three are Brits. What does that say?

Finally an American -- Rufus Wainwright picks "Mystery Train" saying "No matter how many times I hear this (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) I'm transported to the nether regions of music."
