I’ve noticed there is a strong similarity between the music of Chuck Berry and Elmore James. Likewise, Elvis Presley’s earlier works bear a striking resemblance to the wailings of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup. Could it be that these various people were only fictitious realites and that the same musician was playing under two different names?

You’re onto something, Be Bop. Something big. I’m not sure we should be talking about this on the Internet or a national radio program, even though it’s only public radio. Few industry types ever get this far down to the left of the dial or surf beyond their own vanity sites. But getting back to your conspiracy theory, yes, of course, you’ve pegged it. Everyone knows that Sonny and Cher were actually the same person, but few realize that Jan and Dean were both the Everly Bros. and the Righteous Brothers! And it’s small wonder the Four Freshman, Four Seasons and Four Suns (or was it Three?) were never onstage at the same time. Continue listening, but keep a pen and paper handy. What you write down could break the back of the music industry as we know it.
