So you think you are better suited to give an informed guess on the personal and professional attributes of Elvis Presley than, say, the composite worldwide opinion of him obtained from, say, the MIT launched program Pantheon, which maps the historical cultural production of every man and woman born after…

Even Prince loved Elvis. In fact, this is what Prince said of Elvis Presley 21 years AFTER Presley's death, which meant he said it 18 years BEFORE his own. And I quote " I realize I'm part of a musical history and I revere the legacy of my predecessors, so, for instance, when playing live I'll do some of their bombs,…

In 2006 the BBC called Elvis the most photograhed musician in history. And here is how, in part, Elvis would be honoured with that "distinction", thirty years after his death, in fact one the the world' s ten most photographed individuals since the photographic camera was invented, again as per the BBC. …

The day Springfield met Elvis, he seated at a first class seat on his way to Hawaii for a vacation in late May of 1972 in preparation for his returning to the continental USA to perform his 4 shows at Madison Square Garden the following June. The photographer, also a first class passenger, is unknown. https://s-m…

This is from the day Springfield met Elvis. May of 1972, his visiting Hawaii specifically on that date to get a great tan before this June 1972 tour of N ew York. https://s-media-cache-ak0.p…

What he says is not true. this is the truth https://www.youtube.com/wat…

What Cooper says about Elvis is totally the opposite. Here's what he said. See it, DIGEST IT, then direct me to where he says Elvis was kind of an asshole. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The fact you dont remember who the comedian was tells more about the ludricousness of his focussing in that particular aspect of Presley's legacy than your lack of recall does. The unvarnished truth is that a mere 20 second walk of the space reserved for the RIAA and other awards found at Graceland ( that…

Totally wasted money, in terms of future investment and of all magazines, it is Forbes which should know. Incidentally, can anyone locate Wu Tang, or any of its members in this list of artists born since 1900? LOL http://pantheon.media.mit.e…

Exactly. Sam Phillips!! Actually, "Rocket 88" is the one that I believe was the first, but HOWEVER REGRETTABLY, it wouldnt have been the one which rock needed to really make the other idioms irrelevant. And it wasnt "Rock around the clock" either, or "That's all right", or "Maybellene" , all …

Wonderful article.!

No one is too young for taking time out and listening to the worlds most ecclectic singer,. It is not I who has said those marvellous things about him, as a singer, and as a human being, but in excess of 300 of the most qualified musicians of every creed and race in history. Go to

What is really important is whether this is going to be a successful business venture for the almost financially ruined USPS. Back in 1992, when the idea of the first Elvis stamp first popped up, someone as well informed as Presidential candidate Ralph Nader said that for the USPS to make a profit on the US$0.29…

You are assuming this is NOT going to be a successful business venture for the almost financially ruined USPS. Think again. Back in 1992, when the idea of the first Elvis stamp first popped up, someone as suppossedly well informed as Presidential candidate Ralph Nader said that for the USPS to make a profit on the…

To Zombie and Gorplee. (LOL) When people you are paraphrasing have to eat their words, the feeling amongst the undiscriminating, as I am, is truly awesome. Check this out. In 1989, someone said "Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me.Yes, he's a straight-out racist. The sucker was simple and plain" …

Thirty three actors have tried it and only a few even start to scratch the surface. Tough job for Shannon…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultu…

You cant take it with you, nor leave it in one place, not when you're a band and each member has its own next of kin. LOL. All which Elvis left, he left for the world to see, most of it, some 145,000 articles if my memory serves me right, located in the same venue. His home. Forget about the 5…

Man, I always seem to agree with you. Of course, the double LP which came later is a different story.

Not only that, but the guy who wrote the lyrics to that song (written in 1989), later reconsidred his views on Elvis, in an interview in 2002. Case closed.

Yeah,and for your information, it is the only stamp in USPS history which was voted on, against another of his, and you had to pay to cast your vote. (LOL) But thats not how the USPS made the bulk of what later became known as the largest profit made of any stamp in its history. First, after the young Elvis…
