Carl Barks (the artist who drew the best of the Duck comics) evidently detested the new rock n' roll music of Elvis and the other rockers of the 50s. He frequently made fun of it through characters like "Shoeless Pashley" or "Elfish Pestly"...clear references to Elvis. Barks was probably a fan of jazz and swing music...or perhaps classical music. Anyway he sure was no fan of Elvis Presley, and he took little shots at Elvis's style of music here and there in the Duck stories.

Typical reaction of an older person to youth music. ;-D Most of us folkies, who are now older folks, do not like the majority of today's mainstream youth-oriented music one bit. I think of today's commercial radio as a vapid wasteland, and I laugh when I walk into the drugstore and am confronted by a lifesize cardboard Justin Beiber selling some brand of perfume. It would be fun to use that thing as a target on the local shooting range.
