The King is still dead

We are coming up on the 30th Anniversary of the death of Elvis.

Is it me, or is there a lack of excitement about this mega-marketing opportunity? Is it because Elvis has never really gone away? I've only seen one t.v. commercial for a new "complete Elvis" DVD set. I thought we'd be drowning is Elvisness by now.

I sense a severe shortage of Elvis hoopla.

What's the best Elvis song, by the way?

There, I've said it!

JAW fan
