Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP


What an icon!

My first memorable exposure to 'The King' was the 1968 comeback TV special. I was only 4 but I can remember the EXCITEMENT in the house more than the show itself - my mom and her sisters all making cat calls. To this day it is my most favorite performance.

Anyhow, hats off to the legend. A little something on Youtube I enjoyed in rememberence:

I never, ever, understood the appeal of this man. Yeah, the Sun recordings are good. But what happened after the late 50's makes no sense to me. I just do not understand why people like it so much. Maybe someone can explain it to me.
Map: as good as the Sun recordings are, I think I prefer Jerry Lee Lewis for that era. If he only hadn't of married his 14 year old cousin.

Wow. I hate all 3.

American culture must be better than that!!!!
