Rise of the Chinese Elvis
Chinese Elvis impersonators across the globe are donning white jumpsuits and glossing their quiffs to pay tribute to the singing legend, who died on 16 August 1977. In the Far East, Elvis is a karaoke bar obsession, while in the UK, Chinese Elvis impersonators are starting to make themselves heard. . .
Do I splutter about globalization and cultural imperialism, or do I giggle hysterically until the small mid-morning meal I'm eating comes out my nose, or do I track down somebody who's seen one of these guys and demand photographs, or what?
