it probably is, unless it's mcdowels from coming to america, but i marvel at how society has changed there in japan, as a child i remember when they were bombing tokyo, i sometimes wonder if japan would ever go to war with the US again, i think not, i think elvis had a great influence over the kids there, i remember as a teen reading about the teen's in japan and how they worshipped elvis, this country owes elvis a thank you for changing japan into a modern country, having their kids dance and dress like elvis, having their kids realize that america is a wonderful country.

they still love michael jackson as well. he's HUGE! him and mickey mouse. basically anything that embodies the spirit of U.S. pop culture.

One man I met there said to me....."USA.....NUMBER ONE!.....JAPAN.....NUMBER TWO!!!"

Another said....."Best state....HAWAII!"

hahahaha, thats classic, serlingrod...

and jack: i love thinking of elvis as a mouthpiece for american imperialism abroad... as a nation, we do indeed owe a debt of gratitude to the king...

i am so jealous of your hair. mine is somewhat set back, sort of the tony soprano look.
