Sorry if this has already been brought up - I am catching up on a week's 
worth of posts.

Actually, if anything, Elvis was a clone of Carl Perkins, not the other 
way around.  Carl Perkins was around *before* Elvis, and it was Carl who 
wrote and originally recorded Blue Suede Shoes, which was later remade 
by Elvis.  

Speaking of The King, I thought the Elvis bit in Men in Black was pretty 
funny...
