  1. jimmybearpearson says :-) As an interesting experiment, try typing "where is elvis" in maps.google.com. Apparently, he's always near the last place I searched.

  2. Spike says Believe me when I say that if one were to seek out and ask the "several Elvis Presleys" which of their recordings they loved best, none of them would mention their early Sun label recordings. Living in a deforested New Guinea forces one to cling to the later Las Vegas recordings.
