I think he last played elvis on 26th august 2003, twice in 2002.. but
then parsons is too much of a lazy and risible little sh*t to actually
check any facts. why would peel play elvis while other djs were
playing him? the point was he wasn't avoiding already popular bands
out of *snobbery*, it was because there was *no need* to push them
when they were already all over the radio..

it must be a wind up. nobody's actually that much of a dickhead.

If it is, it's a welcome departure from the saccharine-drenched dross that Parsons churns out in his turgid books.
