BOC: Meltzer/Aesthetics of Rock

Looking in "Helter Skelter" for Elvis books this lunchtime, ok, saw
Meltzer's, ahem, seminal tome next to where Greil Marcus' _Mystery Train_
should have been... so obviously I picked it up.   Pretty unreadable, but
you can dip into it!  Many refs to "Memphis Sam" Pearlman of _Crawdaddy_...
also a brief mention of Jimmy Dean's "P.T. 109," which made me wonder
whether it was in any way an inspiration for "M.E. 262"...

Oh yeah, I did get Marcus' _Dead Elvis_ (and I already had Mick Farren's
_Hitchhiker's Guide to Elvis_).
