[Ya-ta Boy]

This month we saw the anniversary of two 'cultural icons', neither of whom could handle fame very well. The King, a poor boy who made good based on his talent; and Princess Di,...enough said.

Inadvertently, both symbolize their respective country of birth: Elvis's 'log cabin to the White House' and Di's 'born with a silver spoon but still managed to make good in spite of the obstacles of private education' approaches to life.

Which one (if either) will be remembered in 2107?

I figure they'll both be the subject of documentaries in a hundred years.

She represents England the way Paris Hilton represents America. Sure it's a diverse country with many facets, but Paris Hilton sums it up pretty well.

Very difficult choice, as both are overrated, insipid inflictions. The 60s groups - Beatles, Stones, Led Zepp - brought the blues, R&B and R&R to the people, not that hip-waving tosser, whose movies sucked beyond belief.

That said, the Brits and their 'outpourings of grief' (and some have the cheek to single-out the people of Liverpool for this) - see Diana, see Holly and Jessica, see Madeleine McCann, no doubt other examples of white, pretty, middle/upper-class females meeting a premature end - embarrass me.

No vote because I hate both, but I would, under torture, go for Elvis because I like R&R, even though do question that guy's contribution. The Beatles and the Stones learnt their trade through Chuck Berry, Bo Diddly, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters - Elvis can *beep* off.

I don't know what it is exactly, but Princess Di did it for me when I was a teenager.
