My kind of person. ...can't imagine what his take would be about people on Facebook etc. What a sad path humans have gone down, all too busy texting, tweeting and twatting, and not necessarily in that order. Technology is a wonderful instrument but integrity and moral values leave it in their wake.
The first question to a man who - single-handedly - had ALREADY changed music, some 40 years earlier. Louis remains the only artist in Western music whose influence over singers and instrumentalists alike was as profound as it was - and continues to be. What, pray tell, does a musician of that calibre have to do do as a 'second act'? Imagine asking the same question - altered - of Dante, Shakespeare, Marie Curie, Virginia Woolf, George Balanchine, the Wright brothers, etc. etc.
