GUEST,Arturo Will Elvis be making a comeback? (158* d) RE: Will Elvis be making a comeback? 17 Jan 05


One Night is Number 1 on the UK Chart and listed as the 1000th number 1 in history for all time.

I cannot believe that intelligent people cannot appreciate a beautiful song of social awareness like In The Ghetto (The Vicious Circle). Please do yourself a favour and listen to it again without prejudice.

Elvis is the American Dream personified to many people around the world. However, the tragedy of the end of his life still inspires debate and conjecture to this day and will forever be played out in Theatres and on TV as a warning to anyone who dreams of superstardom. "Be careful what you wish for, it just might come true".

As for his movies he made a fortune for doing them and fans loved to see him and were happy to pay the admission. Isn't that a fair trade off? "Silly movies" most may have been but good old fashioned down home entertainment without smut, graphic sex and violence was what was required from him and Elvis gave his audience something the whole family could enjoy without trying to be pretentious and self indulgent in vying for critical acclaim above pleasing an audience as most so called actors of the day did.Some still knock him for a bad film, a poor album or for getting older and fatter but the fact remains he is still The King - who the f**k are you?

If you need more convincing simply watch The 68 COMEBACK SPECIAL there has never been a better performance by anyone and probably never will.
