At least The King went while he was still on the throne. How many of us will be able to say that?


So did Lenny Bruce.laugh

Today is August 10th. Some places August 9th. Maybe the remembering Elvis' death started a little too early?

I was married and had an almost 3 y/o daughter. Saw it on the news. My girlfriend was an Elvis fanatic and was really torn up. I felt bad for him, but had other things to take care of in my life.

I`m not a big Elvis fan.

I did like a couple of his songs though.

I had just started a new job. I was 25 years old. Some of the older guys ( in their late 30`s thru early 50`s) I worked with were really kind of down because they were big Elvis fans.

Ladies & Gentlemen. Elvis has just been spotted at the West Tusc. Canton Wal-Mart as a greeter. Please act accordingly and Elvis will autograph your "Elvis" cds that you buy there. This has been a public service announcement on behalf of the West Tusc. Canton Wal-Mart. Thank ya.

My ex-brother in law used to be an Elvis impersonator, part of his act.
He also plays the accordion in a Polka band.
There is a great video of his 'Elvis Sighting' Elvis emerging from his mobile home in Cheboygan MI. laugh

I'm a music lover. What do YOU think?

I was 10. I remember being outside riding my bike in the driveway, listening to the radio. My mom (who was, and still is, a HUGE Elvis fan) was outside, also. The news broke in. I thought it was a very cruel joke. We both rushed inside to turn on the TV. My mother pretty much came unglued, and I wasn't much better.

Three years later, I REALLY thought the world stopped on December 8.

In the years since then, there have been many other notable music artists who have left us, but to a much lesser impact than Presley or Lennon....until June 25 of this year.
