    Aug 16, 2012 - Elvis permanently left the building 35 years ago today. #1

    Hard to believe that it's been 35 years since Elvis died in the crapper and went to hillbilly Heaven at age 42. I’m a huge fan (the first concert I ever saw as a kid was the Big E), so his death always will be one of those “I remember exactly where I was” moments. If he’d lived, he’d be 77 now. Hard to picture. Whether you like him or not, a guy like that comes once and only once, so rock some Elvis today or watch Bubba Ho Tep (his own movies stink).

    I remember I was on the beach with a beautiful blonde listening to the radio when the news came on.

    Hail to the king baby indeed!

    It is definately one of those "I remember exactly where I was" moments. I had just come home from school and my grandmother (of all people) called and was crying about this.
