D.J. Fontana, a drummer with Elvis Presley for 14 years, is on tour. His observation on modern audiences? "They're a little bit quieter," he said in an article on yourhoustonnews.com. And in the same article, some praise of the King and a bit of odd reasoning:
"Elvis’ ability to work the spectators is legendary. Elvis’ talent scaled to a higher plateau of performance, the unreachable star even to those who, with stunning precision, musically pay homage to him. Hence, contemporary audiences are somewhat different than the audiences of yesteryear."
Elvis made the audiences what they were?
