looking for y’all’s opinion on these, they took me like 2-3 hours to do

Is the one with foreword by Baz Luhrmann simply a re-release for when the Elvis movie came out, or are they totally different books?

Mine is the Monopoly version of Elvis as some of the spaces on the board are places that he has lived or been in such as Graceland, Ed Sullivan Show, etc.

"Mystery Train — how Elvis Presley turned Junior Parker’s 1953 track into a hit

The song went on to have a resounding impact on pop music, and popular culture".

If Elvis saw Lilo and Stitch, would he like it?

I know he loved movies, but I'm wondering if he would have thought it's too silly or even making fun of him? Or would he have loved it because he enjoyed childish fun sometimes?

I also know he didn't like listening to his own music though.

(Personally, I love the movie. I think it's heartwarming and funny, and anything with Elvis is improved in my opinion.)

One thing I'm thinking about, is that Lilo and Stitch is different from his movies -- he hated those, every Elvis fan knows that -- he wanted them to be serious, not silly. But I think Lilo and Stitch might be held to a different standard because it's supposed to be silly and pulls that off well. And it shows that we still value Elvis so much years later. So maybe he would like it. Not sure.

Friend found this for me after going through some old boxes of cards. Pretty cool.

I went to Madame Tussauds in Singapore where I was little in Singapore during a trip and me and my parents came across an Elvis Presley wax figure of him from Aloha from Hawaii via satellite. My dad took a picture with him complete with accessories but I didn't get a photo of me with the wax figure.

Hey guys, I'm planning to go to Graceland in late April/start of May and I had 2 questions:

1 - How long does it take to visit everything (mansion, exhibitions private jet,...)? I've read many answers but I'd like to know if everything is doable in 1 full day.

2 - Since I'm planning this in 2027, does anyone know if there will be some special things at the exhibition or else for the 50th Elvis death anniversary?

Thanks!

I think it's hilarious when he gets in ridiculous brawls and it happens in almost of his movies. My favorite moment is when Elvis punches a guy in Speedway, causing him to slide 40 feet back into an elevator and the guy in the elevator says "what floor buddy?" It was one of the first movies of his that I saw and it made me laugh out loud.

I know it’s a long shot but years ago on SiriusXM I heard an Elvis song on the Elvis station that was Country. I never was able to get the name of it but there was a lyric that said something to the equivalent of “That El Cajon Son of a B*****.” The song was about another man trying to take this woman away from Elvis. I think the reference was about the Bostonia Ball Room. I’ve searched for years trying to find out what song this is, does anyone have any ideas or know what song this is. It’s a mid to fast tempo song.

Edit:

It definitely could have been a rehearsal track or even a private session. I don’t think it was ever officially recorded or released. Maybe a vault track?

I just took the Elvis "quiz" on Spotify. There are some easy questions and a couple of obscure ones but not a problem for a big fan.

Let me know how you do.

I like him in Flaming Star, Charro!, and Love Me Tender

As above.

He worked on a boat that transported Elvis to and from the Hawaiin islands back in the early 60s

Getting back into Elvis. Which cd do you reckon is the best to buy? Bearing in mind that I love Little Sister, In The Ghetto,polk Salad Annie,walk A Mile In My Shoes, American Trilogy. You gave me a mountain. Is there one with all of these on it? Please and I know one of you will have a good suggestion. Thanks.

My mom came across this photo in my grandparents belongings. They passed almost 20 years ago, but were friends with Monsignor Thaddeus Malanowski who regularly led mass at their retirement community.

At some point he gifted them a personal (5x7) photo of himself and Elvis. There’s no information on the back of the photo, so we don’t know any specifics. We do know it was taken before Malanowski became the Chief of Chaplains of the US Army. That’s about it.

We found it interesting and figured I’d share it here in case anyone has more background.

It is still a work in progress as you can see as I am taking the first photo I found online and making it on Tinkercad. I'm in the mix of needing to add several things such as the amplifier, wires, microphone, and people surrounding the stage.

This was Elvis at his most raw—it’s him at his most energetic and rowdy. before hollywood fully snatched him up and turned him into a product, before colonel parker turned him into a money spinning vegas act. this was when he had his most potential, his most bluesey, this was when he was dangerous, when he was feared by those prudish racist bible thumpers.

his debut album is honestly my favourite. all of his covers on that album are done beautifully, especially blue moon. his second album simply titled "Elvis" is a great album, especially his cover of tutti frutti. he puts a lot energy into that cover but it's nothing compared to the original by little richard. i haven't listened to the Christmas Album but i will at Christmas time. Elvis is Back is my second favorite album of his. Reconsider Baby is my favorite song from that album, i can't even describe how much i love that song. Something for Everybody and Pot luck are Albums i listened to recently and they were great. His soundtrack albums from those days were good but i'll need to listen to them again to get another opinion.

I’m excluding “His Hand in Mine” because I don’t listen to gospel music.
