Given enough time, even the roughest edges and the most acute angles will soften ... and so will the sharpest points of contention among us. We are more alike than we know, or care to admit.
It was thirty years ago today that Elvis Presley died. A selection of stories, videos and slide shows about 'The King' and his life and career can be found here. The official website for Elvis - maintained by Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. - can be found here.
On NewsWest 9 Sunrise this morning, following an 'Elvis package,' HemaMullur asked Darrell Ward where the phrase, 'Elvis has left the building,' came from ..... you bet, Darrell knew!
Our music, our movies, our language ..... our culture ..... all have been touched in one way or another by Elvis. My favorite bit of 'Presleyana' is Bubba Ho Tep ..... the “true” story of what really did become of Elvis ..... and President John Kennedy, too! The film also features a killer soundtrack, with haunting chords played on a bluesy guitar, both soulful and hopeful at once ..... sometimes despairing, and sometimes positively heroic.
