Jailhouse Rock on TCM ended.

A young man, Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), is convicted of manslaughter after being drawn into a bar fight while trying to defend a woman. In prison, Everett finds salvation when his cellmate, a country singer named Hunk Houghton (Mickey Shaughnessy), hears him sing and pegs him as a future star.

I can't help but thinking that TSF imagines himself to be like this Elvis character (without the singing). He thinks of himself as a rebel, all about money. Of course TSF fails miserably and doesn't even come close. I was just thinking that if he saw this film when he was younger, he tried to emulate some of his charaistics. Example: When TSF does his (sick) slick dance moves, he thinks he looks like Elvis.
