29 years ago today...
the world lost a great man. Yes, he was fat and greasy and wearing jumpsuits, but he was still a great man. Like many others, I prefer the young Elvis...fresh-faced, pre-dyed black hair. If I were around then I would have cried and screamed and fainted with the best of them.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the 70's Elvis too. I especially recommend Live at Madison Square Garden (on CD and DVD) where he performs a moving rendition of "In the Ghetto".
There are some not-so-pleasant things I've heard about him, especially from my mother-in-law whose college roommate dated him. And yes, it did tarnish the glow a little. But nonetheless, I find him dreamy. Besides, doesn't everyone need a little Elvis in their life?
Miss you big guy! TCB!
