ELVIS NEVER WROTE ANY SONGS


He was an interpreter of other people's creations
and his early performances are captured on 78rpm shellac
The Rolling Stones replay hits from four decades ago
and have not had a  Top 40 hit since START ME UP in 1982
The Beatles never saw a CD-let alone an MP3,
and resisted Apple itunes for three decades.
Original thinkers are rare.Their benefits immense.
For all Steve Job's exhortings to "Think differently"-
his greatest achievement was in merchandising
collations of cocktail inventions-to make products sell
in contrast to other models as efficient but less well promoted.
Consider Tesla and Edison-applied intelligences to systems
that we use as a basis for Tesla cars and electric power grids
which form a foundation for all battery powered or mains supplied computers
Second order adaptation is an artform-
the Beatles /Stones applied Southern rhythm and blues
in a British market-which became a world market.
Apple's core group of innovators will be building upon
continuing research into marketing already existent iphones,ipads,ipods etc
What we need are new ideas..start writing,please..
