Elvis Presley
The King left the building for the last time on this day in 1977. Elvis Presley was 42.
I don’t need to tell you the singer and hip-thruster extraordinaire wasn’t just a pop culture phenomenon. His synthesis of white country music and African-American blues revolutionised pop culture. He sold more than 500 million records worldwide in his lifetime, and starred in more than 30 films.
He died young, but his spirit sure lived on. Particularly in Parkes, where I’m sad to say he never made it. Long live the King. It’s Tuesday. What’s on your mind?
Elvis Presley “scandalised” American audiences when he performed this move on the Ed Sullivan show, today in 1956.

Not exactly a happy way to start the week, but Elvis Presley died today in 1977. The 42 year old star was found slumped on his bathroom floor at his Memphis mansion. By the time of his death he had sold 300 million records and made 33 films.

I’d struggle to tell you more than one of the titles to Elvis Presley’s songs. And I certainly couldn’t name any of his movies.
His outfits are outrageous and from what I’ve seen of his wink and swaying hips it’d it be enough to make anyone gag.
But I’m completely mesmerised by the Elvis festival that’s happening in Parkes this week. And my question is: Why?

Elvis festivals and Elvis impersonators are just overkill to me. I’m 22, don’t know much about the singer except the typical fat costume, the cringeworthy movies, or that television clip of him performing shown waist up. I “get” that he is a bloody big deal, that its a historical fact… Read more »

Margaret Gray - what are you, like a hundred years old? “Such a sheltered life” - lol how is it sheltered to not have lived in the first half of the century. It’s called being born after Elvis died.. Being 20 years old, i don’t understand the Elvis obsession either.… Read more »
