An interesting cultural comment, given the incredibly strong influence of Japanese popular culture on American youth today (and well before today).

Japanese PMs have a thing for Graceland: Here’s PM Koizumi with Pres Bush and the Presleys at Graceland. Koizumi did a wicked Elvis impersonation and even cut an Elvis album back in 🇯🇵.

I've seen Paul Simon half a dozen times over 25 years and Mark Stewart was always there to his left, as he is here. A great guitarist who plays a thousand other instruments- seen here playing didgeridoo on he 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) with Simon & Garfunkel in 2003
