Someone introduced Elvis to Ernest Tubb and Tubb, the most gracious and courteous of entertainers, listened patiently as the nineteen-year-old poured out his love for Tubb's music and told him it was his real ambition to sing country music. "He said, `They tell me if I'm going to make any money, though, I've got to sing (this other kind of music). What should I do?' I said, `Elvis, you ever have any money?' He said, `No, sir.' I said, `Well, you just go ahead and do what they tell you to do. Make your money. Then you can do what you want to do.'"

i think that's a different thing. p. sure peter stampfel has repeatedly trashed every record he's ever made, but that doesn't mean he's spent his life choosing to make music he doesn't really like.
