Elvis we never knew ye

homechicago · 08-16-2006, 08:56 PM

August 16, 1977
Shortly after midnight Elvis returns to Graceland from a late-night visit to the dentist. Through the early morning of the 16th he takes care of last minute tour details and relaxes with family and staff. He is to fly to Portland, Maine that night and do a show there on the 17th, then continue the scheduled tour. He retires to his master suite at Graceland around 7:00 AM to rest for his evening flight. By late morning, Elvis Presley is dead of heart failure. It is announced by mid-afternoon. In a matter of hours the shock registers around the world.

it's a shame elvis' career went down the tubes before he died. he was pretty much the laughing stock of the music industry. the Tom Cruise of his day.

actually I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Yeah, you can say that again.

And, um, Elvis did not die on Aug. 16, 1977! (But, he is dead.)

Zerospaced · 08-17-2006, 02:44 PM

he was fat and horrible.... he became a sideshow. drug abuse, cheating on his wife, the man was a joke in his final years.

the guy had the best life ever

well second best next to Hef

Zerospaced · 08-17-2006, 05:06 PM

I'm not saying he didnt have a good life, he would probably still be alive today though had he taken better care of himself.

homechicago · 08-17-2006, 05:17 PM

I blame the colonel for his drug induced stupor and eventual death.

not too mention stole rock and roll from black people and put a white face on it.

i guess it's not the crackers' fault they didn't know better back then.

i wonder if hugh hefner has even encountered a nice girl in the last 20 years. i dont really envy him though i wish i was rich

elvis is great, though. i like his songs. he was even made a US marshall or something like that and he met nixon

alexthestampede · 08-17-2006, 11:11 PM

i dont know what black rock and roll was worth stealing

probably some shit the guys on hipinion download extensively because theyve lost their sense of judgement in their quest for the most perfectly eclectic taste in music

Elvis was brilliant ... fair enough he copped a lot of his music, but it doesn't take away from the fact that he was a truly great singer, and consummate performer

I need to dig out my 4 disc comeback special DVD sometime and watch it again - it's been way too long
