I can remember seeing a few Elvis shows when i was small-- we probably didn't get as many in the UK as TV was fairly bland in the 70's here- didn't really take much notice of the comeback special till i was 20 odd.



My parents watched Elvis and Muhammed (seperately of course) and they weren't really into PoP things..Icons..as you say.

My sister was a big fan of The Monkees and (it must be) one of my earliest memories was watching them ..i can't have been more than 3..so that explains a lot about me...60's pop addled my brain...still 200% better than todays pop "music" though.

Cheers.
