    A strange and haunting tune. Elvis was a little bit before my time. I was the perfect age for the Beatles, though. ;)

      I remember Elvis from as far back as the mid-60s when the Beatles first came here.

      Oh, I remember Elvis and he was popular, but I wasn't of the age to be one of the devoted Elvis fans, I guess. But I was a devoted Beatles fan. Not a screamer, though. lol!

      Being here in Memphis I was aware of him from early childhood. We would here about where he had gone and what he was doing while he was in town.

    I like the double entendre. I'm glad Elivs is still on the second floor of Graceland.
