Danny Fisher jacket

This is a jacket a ran across on a site that has a lot of 50's and 60's style clothing. This is a jacket much like Elvis has in the movie King Creole. It is nothing really flashy or special. I still would like to have one. I think it could be key.

Elvis Lives

I was originally gonna post on Harum Scarum but I'm sitting here watching ELVIS LIVES: The 25th Anniversary Concert on DVD and thought Id post some thoughts on it. This was one of the first Elvis DVDs I bought a couple years ago. Held at the Pyramid Coliseum in 2002, Elvis is reunited through modern technology with The TCB Band, The Sweet Inspirations, The Imperials, The Stamps Quartet, and The Jordanaires. The DVD has 25 songs on it along with interviews with some of the band. My personal favorite songs on here are "You've Lost That Love and Feelin", "Mystery Train/Tiger Man", "Walk A Mile In My Shoes", "Suspicious Minds", and "If I Can Dream". Hell the whole DVD is awesome. I envy Mike for getting to see the 30th Anniversary Concert live this past Elvis Week, It would've been indescribable to experience the closest thing to seeing The King in concert as they come. This DVD is a must for any fan and definitely anyone can enjoy it super fan or not.

IMAGE OF THE WEEK

Since I am having a fit over Elvis Week I thought I would post a picture from Elvis Week 07. This is from Music and Movies at Graceland. Vince,me, and several other fans got to spend the evening on the front lawn of Graceland. We got to hear the Dempsey's and Andy Child's play. Also we got to see one of the coolest people ever that night, Dale Earnhardt Jr. He was the host for the evening. We also got to watch one of Elvis's best movies,Viva Las Vegas. It was a lot of fun.

EW 08 update

I got my tickets ordered today for most of the events that Vince and I will attend. We got tickets to the Elvis Insiders conference, Club Elvis, and Movies and Music at Graceland. It is just about all took care of and everything planned. Now August needs to get here. I am so ready.

Elvis Week 07

The video above is a slide show that I did of some pics from my first Elvis Week. ENJOY!!! Let me know what you think please.

Off to see Dale Jr

I have dacided to wip off wildly to Bristol for the Nationwide race today and I will be back up there tomorrow for the cup race. So I don't know how much I will be on here. I trust Vince will jabber some on here and hold things down.

I thought we could go dancing....or something

Last night I watched Viva Las Vegas for the second night in a row. Viva was Elvis's fifteenth movie and would go down at one of his most popular movies ever. Elvis would start shooting this movie in mid to late 63 and the movie came out in the spring of 64.This movie also starred the wonderful Ann Margret. We all know the story there. Elvis plays the part of Lucky Jackson.The movie is about a race car driver in Las Vegas getting ready for a big race. Along the way he looses all the money he won while in Vegas and is in danger of not getting the motor he needs for the race. Lucky also falls for a lovely swimming instructor Rusty(Ann). Lucky enters a talent show to try to win some money and ties Rusty for first place. After winning a coin flip Lucky realizes the prize of a Honeymoon in Vegas does him no good, and he thinks his chances for the race are gone. Then a mysterious donor, who turns out to be Rusty's father, gives money for a motor. Elvis then enters the race, and of course go on to win it. He then marries Rusty. I suppose after that they live happily ever after. It is kinda of odd seeing them at the end of the movie getting married. Makes you think about what It would have been like had gotten married. The soundtrack is pretty solid and I think way underrated. It also has my personal favorite, The Climb, which Elvis sings back up on. Overall this movie is really great, and for sure an Elvis classic. It was one of his best because of the great chemistry he had with Ann Margret. He never had that kind of spark with any other actress. It is probably in my top ten favorite movie, and it is for sure in the top ten of Elvis's best work on screen. It was also one of Elvis;s most successful movies bringing in around 4.7 million at the box office.

Also, I have to admit something. I have seen this movie well over a hundred times in my life. I just noticed something though.I never noticed Red West and George Klein in the first of the movie and the casino. I thought that was pretty funny. I was actually yelling about it in the middle of the night. Funny how after all these times of seeing the movie that I just now noticed that.

EW website running true

The official Elvis Week website is up and running. It is found at Elvisweek.com. It has all the information you could need on the event as well as cool videos and pics from last year. 147 days to go. I can't wait. I am yelling.

DOLL OF THE WEEK

Ursula Andress is my doll of the week. She was in the movie Fun In Acapulco. I have always loved that movie, and really liked her. In other movies she is alright, but in this flick she really gets me. She is pretty hot and I thought she has a rockin body.If I made a list of the top Elvis girls I would have to say she would be in my top ten or so. I think I am going to go watch Fun In now because thinking about Ursula has got me in the mood.

Today in Elvis history

RCA released Elvis´ first album "Elvis Presley". The LP entered Billboard´s Best-Selling Pop Albums chart at #11. Within 6 weeks, it reached number one, remaining at the top for 10 weeks.The total stay stay on the chart was 49 weeks. It was the first album in history to sell one million copies. Certification as a million-seller was made by RIAA on November 1,1966.

In My opinion this is most important album Elvis ever recorded. It has some classics on it was well and is one of the best as well. It is for sure in the top five or six of best Elvis albums of all time. This album album blew Elvis up and helped send him to a level no one else has ever reached.
