Talk:Carl Perkins' Cadillac

What is there does not explain the joke implicit in the title. Sam Philips said he would "get a Cadillac" for who made the first gold record. Sam drove it up to Perkins and "gave" it to him. Everyone thought that meant "buy it for them", but Perkins had to pay for the car, Sam just brought one over. He got them money by the sack - so "pay for your own fancy car". It is a song about a lesson in empowerment taught by Sam to those young artists with poor backgrounds.

I know I'm not telling this very well, but do you see what I'm saying?
