  1. If I wrote "I'm all shook up" over this anniversary it would be too tacky, right? I remember this day.

  5. I was a little too young to be captivated by Elvis. This came out when I was seven. I was the perfect age for the Beatles to steal my heart on Ed Sullivan when I was thirteen. ;)

  6. I never got into Elvis any more than I got into the Beatles. I got interested in rock when I learned about what we now call Classic rock and I call my favorite era, even if it was before my time. That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to see Graceland in person.
