misfish Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) Elvis, died on Aug. 16, 1977,34 years ago. IMO he was the best rock and roll artist,gospel artist.If he were alive today,there would be no one that could touch him as far as ticket sales go.You would never see him at Rama til he was maybe 90.LOL Heres what that I like the best.

crappieperchhunter Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Slightly before my time...but alot of his stuff is timeless. I think "In the Ghetto" is one of my FAV's of his too. I think your mistaken about the death thing though Brian. He was 2 behind me in line at No Frills today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted August 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was fifteen and can tell you exactly whom I was chasing... but Elvis... not a clue (at the time anyhow). I was 13 then. Back then, live performaces were the norm on TV by the top performers, not like today, where ya got to pay big ticket prices to see them at a show and not on TV. I was out playing with a some friends and came home to find my mom crying. Asked her why? When she told me,I couldnt believe it. 13 going on 18.

Turned out to be a trick knee. The reason women don't play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public. We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.

Big Cliff and Lew were about 31 years old then...is that older and cootier enough for you ?

blaque Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was 6 when he died......but i remember my dad listening to elvis non stop in the car when we drove down to Disney World,... Bout 28 hours of Elvis lol. Wasnt exactly what i wanted to hear, but listening to it now brings me back to those road trips to Florida. Fond memories for sure. I went to high school with a guy that has been a full time Elvis impersonator since he graduated high school. Pretty famous here in western new york actually.

Gregoire Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I thought this post would be about releasing a big salmon. I'm slightly disappointed. By the way I was in my mom's womb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Dunno how old Roy might have been then...when he was born...Yonge Street was still a forest and Christ was just a yearling... Yeah, our history books had but two or three paragraphs. The average life span was only 41 back then so I guess we've both dodged the bullet pretty well eh Norm? Of course I never reached the average height so we're even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motion Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hey Brian, I think you should change the topic heading to "How old are you" Ya, I remember that tragic event 34 years ago. Seems like just yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdve23rveavwa Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I was 12, never a big Elvis fan, but the dude sure could sing! My fave is probably Suspicious Minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
