Elvis 30th anniversary! - Page 3

Although a bit young to be totally engaged, did like him and his music. Favorite was/is Suspicious Minds, but he did have alot of great stuff. Didn't care much for how overwhelmingly he was/is idolized. He sure wasn't close to perfect (IMO).

Also, and possibly a greater contribution to the world would have been Elvis keeping his daughter from marrying Michael Jackson!

At least Elvis had a pretty full career. I just wonder what would have happened with Buddy Holly (who I REALLY like) and others who died so early in their careers? I guess that's for another thread eh?

He may have looked like a god, Brian, but even Elvis couldn't have appeared out of the clouds, wagging his finger and saying, "Lisa, you are NOT to marry that man. Have a deep-fried peanut butter sandwich instead."

Of course he was dead many years. My comment was:

Meaning, if he was still alive, I believe he'd be shooting at Michael "Moonwalk boy" rather than at his television sets.
