Even if this is true, do you think Elvis's label disclosed this info to the public?

"Who was your first favorite group or singer? How old were you at the time? What was important to you about this music?"

I think my first favorite band was Linking Park. Now I say this only because I bought their first CD, and didn't have any other CD's before hand. Now I can't really recall how old I was when I bought that CD, but I think I was in either 4th or 5th grade. It's really funny answering this question, because I don't really know why this music was important to me other then I liked listening to it. Their music had an interesting twist to it that seemed to draw me in. Other then that, I really don't have an answer to this question.
