Do you know what happened 34 years ago today ?

The King of Rock and Roll died.





Rick

Keep on Rock'n

Probably not as well known is that my sister-in-law celebrated her 19th birthday that very day.....
.....not only that her mother's birthday is Jan. 8th.

Believe it or Not.

Better question is do you know where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news..I was on my way to work at the Jacksonville,Ill Book Boundry..

I was reveling at a birthday party just outside of Wyalusing, PA when the news was heard.

I was 8. My brother had a friend who lived across the street who's dad had gone to high school with Elvis and they were still in touch ( I grew up in Memphis) My brother got a phone call sometime in the afternoon. He hung up the phone and said, "Elvis just died." Of course being an 8 year old girl, I wanted to be the first of my little friends with the scoop, so I was ready to monopolize the phone for the rest of the day. Mom said "no, don't call people and tell them that. it's just a rumor" so I didn't. 10 minutes later the news interrupted mom's soap or talk show or whatever was on with breaking news. I have never let Mom forget that she prevented me from being the first one with the news among the incoming 3rd grade class

I was in Nashville, driving back to our hotel from a day at Opryland when I heard the news on the radio. I tried to buy a newspaper the next morning, but they were all sold out.

Working as asst. manager at a Waldenbooks in bumfuk, Ohio
- the manager was a HUGE Elvis fan and I had to hold her for a solid sweaty hour while she weeped...

Didn't you guys get the message? Elvis isn't really dead, it was only a cover up. I see him at my local Costco periodically.

I've always wondered what the world would have been like if his twin Jesse Garon had lived. Would they both have performed?

Bumfuk, Ohio sure beats the bejesus out of Cleveland.
