Statement (28 August 1965) after meeting Elvis Presley, as quoted in The Leading Men of MGM (2005) by Jane Ellen Wayne, p. 386; also partly quoted in The Beatles: The Authorized Biography (1968) by Hunter Davies, p. 19<!-- also in Come Together : John Lennon in His Time (1984) by Jon Wiener http://books.google.com/books?id=Dj5uY-yAy4QC&pg=PA147&lpg=PA147&dq=%22nothing+really+affected+me+until+elvis%22&source=web&ots=nnADomTr5c&sig=e7w_FTRZPME2pWZJdgAz5-jegTs --><br>It was a load of rubbish. It was like meeting Engelbert Humperdinck.<br>Later comments on meeting Elvis, as quoted in The Beatles: The Biography (2005) by Bob Spitz, p. 583. <br class="br">Context: There's only one person in the United States we ever wanted to meet … not that he wanted us. And we met him last night. We can't tell you how we felt. We just idolised him so much. … You can't imagine what a thrill that was last night. Nothing really affected me until I heard Elvis. If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles.
