Elvis "died" at Graceland on this day 30 years ago. So they say. Check the spelling on the stone.

It's easy to dismiss the greatness of Elvis, given how he was at the end. Remember the great things.
He was the definition of cool. Nonetheless grandmas and 5-year olds and everyone in between can listen to his timeless songs and enjoy them.
Remember, also, he served his country honorably and without complaint. His only 3 Grammy awards were for gospel recordings(kinda like Jethro Tull getting the first heavy metal Grammy-what dolts!). And he personally paid for the Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor.
Rest in peace, King.
Elvis is SO obviously dead. If Lisa Marie marrying Michael Jackson didn't bring him out of hiding, he's DEAD!
Re the comment from Larry Parker - my daughter was born on 9/11. Her 6th birthday was, shall we say, a total bust. Fortunately, we had done all the celebrating with friends over the weekend and on Monday night. It was kind of depressing for most of the year thinking about her next birthday until a man we met on vacation in August, 2002, told her he was really happy she had a 9/11 birthday because we need to have lots of good things that happened on that day as well and she was obviously one of them.
