Peanut Butter and Elvis

Elvis Presley, the King of Rock and Roll, passed away at the age of 42. Elvis may have left the building, but his legacy lives on, as Presley remains one of the most influential artists of all-time.

Another legacy Elvis left behind was his love for the peanut butter and banana sandwich, which was, by all accounts, his favorite snack. Sometimes with bacon, sometimes grilled or fried, these days many know the peanut butter and banana combo simply as “The Elvis.”

Here is one version :

White Gold Butchers Elvis Sandwich

2 slices white bread

1/2 super ripe banana (like, the day or two before you make banana bread or pitch it in your freezer)

3 slices thick cut White Gold Butchers bacon

1-2 tablespoons of (let’s be honest) smooth Skippy

1-2 ounces rendered beef fat (can sub with butter)

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is an ultra-exclusive club with very few members, so it is no wonder that it is notoriously hard to get inducted. Classic rocker and outspoken republican Ted Nugent claims his membership is held up because of his involvement with National Rifle Association.

But David Crosby, a two-time Rock and Roll Hall-of-Famer, disagrees. In 7 words, the rock legend shut down the hopes and dreams of Ted Nugent, tweeting on Monday (Aug. 14) that Ted “just isn’t good enough.”

Ringo Starr‘s 19th solo album, Give More Love, is set to be released on Sept. 15 and Beatles fans are rejoicing over its Paul McCartney cameo on the track “We’re on the Road Again.” In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Fab Four drummer reveals how the collaboration process began.

“Well, I just called him up and said, ‘I got this song called “Show Me the Way,” and I want you to play on it,” Starr told Rolling Stone. “Because he is a really good friend of mine, he said he’d come to L.A. for it. It’s about [my wife] Barbara. She shows me the way. I wanted it to be very personal.”

“He’s an incredible musician,” the 77-year old rock star continued. “He’s incredible at singing too and as a writer, but for me, as a bass player, he is the finest and the most melodic.”

Glen Campbell, the indelible voice behind 21 Top 40 hits including “Rhinestone Cowboy,” “Wichita Lineman” and “By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” died Tuesday. He was 81. A rep for Universal Music Group, Campbell’s record label, confirmed the singer’s death to Rolling Stone. During a career that spanned six decades, Campbell sold over 45 million records. In 1968, one of his biggest years, he outsold the Beatles.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and legendary singer and guitarist, Glen Travis Campbell, at the age of 81, following his long and courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease,” the singer’s family said in a statement.
