Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]

What push? He was trying to keep the fans? I don't get what you're trying to say. Elvis was definitely losing popularity when psychedelic rock hit the scene, but I'm really not sure Jimi was considered the competition.

Fine let me try one more time 

1. Jimmy Hendrix appears and pushes counter cultural rock  and attracts white youth's 

2. A post civil rights white America's  freaks out because their idolizing a black musician 

3. Concerned they push people like Elvis to try and lure youths back to "acceptable rock "

4. Elvis gets a push during Hendrix run but the plan fails and counter cultural rock continues 

And no before you ask Elvis wasn't involved in this he had nothing but respect for Hendrix

Then Elvis should have come out, dazed on acid and set his upside down stringed guitar on fire.

Not in some crazy damn fringed one piece jump suit.

Jimi sure as hell wasn't trying to be the next Elvis.  If Elvis was trying to be like Jimi, he failed miserably.

I'll copy this again hopefully it makes what I'm trying to say

Jimi was not the first black musician who had white youth for fans.

In your early glory days of Elvis there were many black singing groups who had white kids dancing their legs off.  The Platters, The Temptations, The Four Tops, to name a few. My mom is 17 years older than I am.  I clearly remember her watching American Bandstand when I was a kid and dancing around to the music.  She loved the groups that were part of the Detroit/Motown sound, which is where I got my love for that music.  She loved Johnny Mathis...dad and I didn't like him much.  Mom and dad had the soundtrack to Goldfinger with Shirley Bassey belting out the title tune.  These are memories from pre 1966 when we moved from the town where dad went to college.  

You are reaching...and from what I can find, Elvis respected Hendrix because of his military service more than anything else.

The people who were into Shag dancing and the Motown sound weren't into the Woodstock sound which was not highly stylized and choreographed but was more freeform and jam in nature.
