An Introduction to “Elvis: That’s The Way It Was”

a publication about Elvis Presley on records, in movies, and in concert

NOTE: If you have read “How I Made $2.61 in Only Four Days on Medium!” on our sister publication Tell It Like It Was, you can skip down to the section titled “That’s The Way It Was” and read from there.

WE LAUNCHED our new publication Tell It Like It Was on January 1, 2019, and it addresses popular music, primarily rock & roll from the ’60s. “We” are John Ross (my favorite music blogger), Lew Shiner (my favorite novelist), and myself.

We love the music (and the books and the movies and the styles and the girls girls girls) of that era.

We want to share our enthusiasm for the music of that era.

We know how to write about the music of that era.

We figured that if only one-quarter of one percent (yup, a mere 0.25%) of Medium’s 60,000,000 unique monthly readers had any interest in the great rock, soul, and pop music of those years, then we’d have a potential readership of 150,000. (If anyone reading this has their own “personal” blog, you know how huge that figure is.)

Boyoboy was we ever wrong!
