Elvis Presley - Where did they go, lord

I saw Elvis and Michael Jackson live and in concert. Definitely, two of the most 'dynamic' entertainers in my lifetime.
 
I know many of you have visited Graceland, but did you feel his presence when you where in the house?
 
I was born on Elvis' birthday.. MY entire life.. it has dogged me. My own mother used to always add.. Yes.. January 8th... Elvis' Birthday.. everytime someone asked. My whole life I have listened to Elvis songs all day on my birthday... not my choice, but that's what was playing. Now don't get me wrong.. I like Elvis.. but.... just sayin' it got old.

Ralphie's right QS, it set's you apart from the herd! I was born on Johnny Cash's birthday (Feb26) and never realized it until I was an adult. I have always been a fan of John's...the music and the man. I never met him, but sharing his birthday is a connection of sorts. :)

Meanderer, I once took a tour that included Cash's home, it was beautiful, but the thing that struck me was that it had a creek running through the house, I always wondered what kept snakes out...lol

Johnny Cash...another great voice.

I've just had a GREAT idea!! Now if we can find folks born on the Carl Perkins (April 9th )', and Jerry Lee Luis's (September 29th) Birthdays, we should get together for a "Million dollar Quartet!!" well, maybe not a Million... Maybe a buck and a half.. lol!!!

Elvis is still "alive and well" and living in Banff (north Scotland that is). I saw again him in the supermarket yesterday.
We'll if it wasn't him, it was certainly someone who looked and dressed like him. I thought who would want to make a fool of themself by dressing like Elvis and walking round a small Scottish town on a freezing cold day?
I asked him if he was Elvis and he said he was. Funny I never knew Elvis spoke with a Scottish accent!

I grew up listening to Elvis. Some Parents back then thought he was the Devil Incarnate with his swiveling hips, etc. I wonder what some of the old folks would think of the Crap that so many of today's kids fawn all over with their musical choices? At least Elvis had some real songs with lyrics a person could understand...and did it without yelling into the microphone. I'm a music fan, and like to watch the Palladia Channel on TV, when there is a decent group performing. There are some of today's groups that are really great....Mumford and Son's might be my current favorite....but for every one like that, there are dozens who just make me shake my head in disbelief.
