“he was lost in thought, …passing the time in a
Sambo's on Tyler Street in downtown Harlingen…Bill Haley
was making rock and roll records when Elvis was still in high school. For that
matter, he was playing rock and roll when Chuck Berry was working in a beauty
parlor, Jerry Lee Lewis was studying at the Southwestern Bible Institute, and
Little Richard was washing dishes in a bus station…Why didn't anybody seem to
remember?” (Michael Hall, Texas Monthly,
2011).
