Elvis Presley

It's pretty hard to find someone who is an Elvis fan. It's for those fans that I'm writing this blog post. Priscilla has a new book out titled Shades of Elvis-Through the Eyes of Artists. The book is exactly what the title says it is. A certain group of artists, picked by Priscilla, who had the opportunity to wear a pair of shades that Elvis actually wore.

Everybody knows Elvis Presley is still alive. But who knew Bruce Lee and Kurt Cobain were still alive too?

There are many shows that follow different stories about how Elvis faked his death. I worked in Nashville at a Tower records and someone dropped off a bag of tapes and asked us to sell them, and keep the money, that this was proof Elvis was alive, and the tapes really sounded like him, but this really does.

Marking the day of Elvis Presley's Death, I always try to do something on the morning show. This morning I was visited by three Elvis'. It was a preview of the free Elvis Concert tonite.

Some have gone undiscovered for years, here's a great interview of one of those ladies.   More than five decades ago, a 21-year-old Elvis was caught on film giving a playful French kiss to a lovely--and unidentified--young woman. The photo became iconic; but even the photographer, Alfred Wertheimer, didn't k
