Remember
Twenty-nine years ago today, Elvis left the building forever. His fingerprint remains on music to this day. No one has ever had as much influence over American culture as this poor boy from Tupelo, Mississippi. In the words of the great John Lennon, "Before Elvis...there was nothing."

You *do* love him, don't you. . .

Little known fact - and I'm not sure if I ever shared it with you. . . Elvis was born the same day as my mother, the same year as my father. Interesting. . . LOL

Girl..my love for Elvis is SERIOUS. It's nothing to joke about. This time last year, I was all up in Graceland for Elvis Week. It was for work but still...I was loving every minute of it.

And the tank top I'm wearing in my profile picture above says Elvis Rocks.

I think a special "Maddie Reports from Graceland" trip is in order with updates on your blog.

But I'll tell ya - you'd better be lovin' the skinny Elvis - because the fat Elvis was just icky.

I love me some Elvis! *g*

I can still remember the day Elvis died. We were living in Germany. And the Germans LOVE Elvis. My parents were seriously shocked. The news was HUGE worldwide!

And, yes, I have made the pilgramage to Graceland. *g*
