00:02 Elvis Presley, Swing Low Sweet Chariot
One hobby that Elvis stuck with for almost his entire adult life was the martial arts, specifically karate. He had his first taste of the chop-socky in boot camp and would excitedly expound on its history and meaning to anyone who was forced to gamely listen. Karate's teachings and theatrics complimented his superhero obsession nicely and he devoured books on the subject. Elvis' voracious appetite for knowledge was matched only by his voracious appetite.

.

52:43 The Venus in Furs, 2HB.
From the soundtrack of Velvet Goldmine. The Venus in Furs were Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, David Gray, Suede's Bernard Butler, and Roxy Music's Andy Mackay.

'2HB' is not a lead hardness reference, graphite enthusiasts. It instead translates as "To Humphrey Bogart", and is full of Casablanca references.

Which is much less interesting, if you ask me.

58:09 Neil Young, Don't Cry.
