@patrickfcox_cox@JoyceCarolOates I read Guralnick's two volume biography of Elvis Presley. He said that some black journalists dug into Elvis life and background to try to find instances of racist behavior, but couldn't find anything racist. But they did find a lot of womanizing.
@TheBradSherwood Maybe it’s not as popular, but “Oye Como Va” is in Spanish. There aren’t a lot of lyrics, but all in Spanish. The most popular version was by Santana.
@mic1303@JoyceCarolOates Famously, while in the prison camp, a British officer commanded 14 year old Andrew Jackson to polish the British officer's boots. Andrew responded with a few choice profanities. The officer slashed Andrew across the face with a sword, giving him the first of many scars.
@JoyceCarolOates If Ken Burns wanted to, he could mention that a young boy from the Carolinas and his brother were in a British POW camp late in the Revolutionary War. Robert Jackson died in camp, but his brother Andrew lived. And later became President of the USA.
