Sure. But also, you can see the things you expect to see.

I have no idea on the validity (I'm sure much is debatable!), but this sort of thing illustrates quite well how I see the interrelationships - the appropriations, re-appropriations and counter-appropriations from genre and place:

Good points. Especially interesting the amount of different influences re: Elvis (as I said, I don't know much about him). Just gonna further ruminate and explore some ideas on this theme :)
