[HANASHIR:8833] Jewish Elvis?

[Jeff Klepper <jeffklepper...>]

This provocative exchange takes place during an interview with Greil Marcus,
one of the most (if not the most) interesting American pop culture critics,
and Jewish, of course.

<<Dave: Why is Elvis such a bedrock of American popular culture? Is Elvis
American popular culture, period? Is he at the heart of everything?

Marcus: He really is, for a whole lot of different reasons. If you go back
into his genealogy, you find out there's a very high probability that he's
Jewish.>>

While Marcus does not support the statement, the entire interview is at:
