When I was working at the country music radio station, a singer named Dwight Yoakam emerged with non-pop-oriented COUNTRY music - his attitude was get back to the basics.
He had a song, "Little Sister" which was a cover of a song that Elvis Presley had done.
I played the Dwight Yoakam record, "Little Sister" on the radio many times, and one time I played it on a weekend day - I was alone in the radio station, and I said on the air that I liked that song and I thought Mr. Yoakam's version of it was even better than Elvis Presley's.
I wasn't trying to make anybody mad, I was just so happy to play the song, I was - enthusiastic.
And the door of the radio station opened and this guy tromped in and was mad at me for saying anyone was "better" than Elvis Presley.
I was somewhat surprised. I just talked to him, and listened to him, and calmed him down.
It was - unexpected, and a little weird.
