Perhaps a book published only in Britain.<BR/><BR/>As for sideburns, I could probably do a whole blog about those. Elvis Presley was known for unusually long sideburns in the 1950s, by contemporary standards. Those sideburns didn't become the monumental whiskers we associate with him until the 1970s, of course. <BR/><BR/>Dundy doesn't make this clear, but in a charitable reading her argument might refer to young Presley's early choice to wear sideburns longer than the average, with the result that his hair looked somewhat like Freddy's. But I agree—it's a stretch.J. L.
