Posted April 23, 201411 yr We just celebrated Doris Day turning 90. But guess what, at the end of this year Elvis Presley would have been 80. His actual birthday was Jan., 1935. That means on Jan. 8, 2015 he would have been 80. I still have a stack of Elvis 45s, starting with the song which launched him, Heatbreak Hotel, along with Don't be Cruel, Hound Dog, Jailhouse Rock, along with many others. I have several hours of playing time. I will admit being totally pissed when he divorced Priscilla. She was another favorite of mine. I do believe he died as a result of an overdose. By that time he had lost the ability to control his life. What a pity. I guess when you are born to a family of modest means in Tupelo, Miss and vaulted to fame and fortune there is a great danger in this. I still look at him as one of the greatest talents in my early life and dearly miss him.
April 23, 201411 yr I'm surprised you didn't turn this into an anti-Cincinnati rant. You know, it's Obama's fault Elvis is dead and Doris Day lost her virginity. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
