We always rolled our eyes at this when we were kids. Now I get that Elvis was the KING and how it must have been a big deal that he died on her son's birthday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1156212204519950752006-08-21T22:03:00.000-04:002006-08-21T22:03:00.000-04:00That's funny Blond Girl, the Paul Simon song is th...That's funny Blond Girl, the Paul Simon song is the first thing that popped in my head too! :o)<BR/>I remember asking my mom if she liked Elvis and she said she didn't.

Maybe it was because my mother was a Dean Martin fan instead. I do remember my Mom saying my Grandfather refused to let them watch Elvis when he was on Ed Sullivan. Oh, those heathen hips.

I also recently heard Drive By Truckers singing "Carl Perkins' Cadillac" which touches on the Elvis legend.<BR/><BR/>mooselet, Like I said, pictures can't do justice to the place. No flash or video photgraphy is allowed, so these are all available light photos, which is why the pool room and Jungle Room look so dark. The giant white furry bed is also something most people think only exists on an Austin Powers set.<BR/><BR/>others, It seems a lot of mom's had big crushes on Elvis. My mom was always more a Pat Boone/Harry Belafonte type.yellojkthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592683505688819187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1156181743274191212006-08-21T13:35:00.000-04:002006-08-21T13:35:00.000-04:00Ha.

My mom still has a box full of Elvis 45s from back in the day (I wonder how many people reading this just went "huh"?), with the dustjackets still on 'em. <BR/><BR/>Paul Simon's "Graceland" is nice, but I like John Hiatt's "Tennessee Plates", a song about a trip to Graceland Gone Wrong (and some fabulous Sonny Landreth slide guitar IIRC).<BR/><BR/>I remember where I was when I heard Elvis died. I was hangin' in front of my friend Pat's house when his sister threw the screen door open, one hand over her mouth, crying. She could barely get the words out through the sobs and her fingers.<BR/><BR/>bcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1156176295435428542006-08-21T12:04:00.000-04:002006-08-21T12:04:00.000-04:00Great pictorial.

Makes me dizzy now.<BR/><BR/>I was too young - 6 or 7 - when Elvis died for it to have much of an impact. But I did have a boyfriend once who did great pantomimes to Elvis songs.

Silly, huh?<BR/><BR/>My connection with Elvis is that my childhood best friend, Jennie, used to try to convince me that she was born in Hawaii and her dad was Elvis. She showed me the Blue Hawaii album and pointed to one of the girls on the front, saying that was her mom. Of course, it wasn't true, but even at a young age it made me aware of the sadness of divorce. I love the song "Love me Tender" - probably one of the best songs ever written.<BR/><BR/>Haven't said Hi in awhile, but I've seen you commenting over at Geekwif's, so I had to come by and reconnect.
