Talk about pot calling the kettle black.
It’s also really weird. Elvis was around to see The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, and technically Sex Pistols too although that was towards the end of his life.
Point is, he should have known about much “worse” musicians and music than The Beatles.
He met the Beatles once (on their request), and John Lennon insulted him twice at this occasion. It looks like he started to badmouth them afterwards whenever he was with powerful people (and he also complained about other musicians then).

Wonder how he would have felt about todays musicians
It’s interesting how boundaries get pushed in arts and culture. My wife and I were driving and Me So Horny by 2 Live Crew came on. We had a good laugh about how absolutely outrageous and controversial that song was when it came out. Now it might be just another song.
I call bullshit on the last “fact” in the article, “In Switzerland, it is illegal to mow a front lawn while dressed as Elvis”.
Breaking news: Elvis was a pedo assclown.
