"Bill Beeny is the founder of the Elvis is Alive Museum near St. Louis, MO. Bill also wrote the book DNA Proves Elvis is Alive."  
Good man Bill, good man  ::)

That dude looks like he could be E's older brother!  Hey db, you like "Wild at Heart" w/ Nic Cage and Laura Dern?  Cage does some cool E covers in that one (plus it's David Lynch so ya can't go wrong...)

[dragonboy]

I saw it years ago, I guess when it first came out. I hardly remember it...cheers for the heads up Fanatic, I'll see if I can't find it at the DVD store & watch it again  :)

for what it's worth:

Franz Govaerts, a 30 year old man from Antwerp, was crowned "best Elvis Imitator" during the World Championships in Memphis.

He was chosen out of 30 candidats and won a prize of 800 $.

He dedicated his victory to his father, who died a year ago.

(I'm not kidding, this was in a well respected newspaper in Belgium a while ago. I do wonder how many 'best Elvis impersonators' there actually are ...?)

Me, me mate Phil, me mate Paul (but he's a bit shit) that guy from Norwich who calls himself TCB, Ted from Southhampton (who's a little bit over the hill but still gives it his best, bless 'im) & that bloke from the Dog & Duck  :)

'Well I'm working on a building, it's a true foundation...'

I recently categorised all of my CDs for the first time in years (having had half my collection in boxes here there & everywhere) Elvis sits next to the Jacket in the top slot, high praise for both the dead & the living.

Being from Mississippi, this stuff is old hat. Not sure if you guys know about it, but if you come to Graceland, don't forget about Graceland Too in Holly Springs, Miss. about 40 minutes east of Memphis.

Thanks Tracy, I had no idea.
I'm hoping to make it to Graceland again one day, much to my wife's disdain  ;)

My wife and I have lived in Nashville since 99 and have made it a tradition to drive by Graceland when we go home to Mississippi for Christmas. It's always at night and all the Christmas lights are up. Very sweet.

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

Happy Birthday King!

You met my Dad once, right? How was that?

[dragonboy]

Thought I'd bump this so you can all pay your respects.
30 years gone this Thursday. We miss you Dad!  :'(



& on that note I'm off to the airport. Elvis (& DB) have left the building  ;)
