ELVIS PRESLEY: WE NEVER FORGOT THOSE WORDS

This week is the 40th anniversary of Elvis Presley’s death and Graceland in Memphis is a mob scene as usual. It’s amazing how that hillbilly singer became a lifetime idol for so many. (We always loved his collar-up bad boy look from the 50’s) We did have one memorable but short personal encounter with Elvis. One day we were driving our sparkling turquoise blue convertible on Sunset Strip waiting patiently at a red light. A long black limo pulled up next to us and a guy in the passenger seat turned around and looked us right in the eye and said “Hiya, baby!” That crooked smile! It was ELVIS! We felt our body temperature immediately change and we absolutely froze. The light changed and the limo zoomed away before we could stammer a response! It was a little bit of heaven…
