Für mich klingt seine Aussage eher nach „(s)ein Idol wurde entzaubert”. Dass Elvis auch später gute Songs aufnahm, räumt Lennon ein. Wobei Hype und Idol ja oft nahe beieinander liegen.
„Up until Elvis joined the army, I thought it was beautiful music and Elvis was for me and my generation what the Beatles were to the ’60s. But after he went into the army, I think they cut „les bollocks“ off. They not only shaved his hair off but I think they shaved between his legs, too. He played some good stuff after the army, but it was never quite the same, It was like something happened to him psychologically. Elvis really died the day he joined the army. That’s when they killed him, and the rest was a living death.“
