The King's 76th Birthday

January 8, 1935

This is the birth date of Elvis Aron Presley. There is nothing I can say in tribute to his contribution that his fans don't already know better than I. There is nothing I can say to persuade the naysayers of the error of their ways. So we would wish the King a happy 76th birthday had he not departed this life so prematurely.

I saw a piece on him tonight on 60 minutes and he is the all-time winner of still earning money even though he is dead. Amazing how much he is still loved.

I still feel like I missed out on something because he died so young...

OK... you can celebrate. Not me... on this we differ.

Lin, even the current generation of youngsters seem to have "discovered" him.

Dapoppins, you have the advantage, though, of being young!

Shark, I enjoyed his singing, not so much his acting or lifestyle. Had somewhat in common with him, being the same age and like him, being the surviving twin. Unlike me, he got filthy rich; and unlike him, I sold no records.
