ELVIS 25th Death Week.......the tourist are pouring in here in Memphis

[Slap]

It amazes me how popular he still is. They gather by the thousands here in Memphis every year to hold a candle light vigil during his "Death Week" as they call it. They say his popularity is starting to increase even more.

How many here like Elvis and believe he started Rock and Roll?

I like Elvis, think he contributed a LOT to contemporary music, but don't think he's worthy of all this idolization and worship.

But then there's that rumour about how he and Jim Morrison are running a gas station in Tucson, AZ...

Does anyone actually know why Elvis died?

Mmmmkkk...i knew it wouldn't be long before the EP threads starting forming, so i thought i'd share this with you.

I work with a woman at kmart who's name is Lavera Chapel. She is a HUGE elvis fan. She has 11 tattoos this year, with her last one being the "EP25" in the official logo font on her forearm. If you do a search on google for her (lavera chapel) and elvis, you get a TON of results. Here are some of them (pics included in a handful of the links):
