Anyone old enough has heard the question: “Where were you when Elvis died?”
I clearly recall where I was and what I was doing.
Other things remembered include Elvis Presley’s birth year: 1935, two years after my dad’s.
Elvis sang about staying ‘off my blue suede shoes.’
Two years before Elvis died, we bought dad a gag-gift for his 42nd birthday – a pair of orange suede shoes.
Like me, Elvis was born a twin and like me, his twin Jessie, didn’t survive.
Finally, my wife saw him in concert – and I’m still jealous.
The King is dead — long live the King!
