From: The fiery trail across the western skies a

few days ago was actually a space ship returning

to Earth with Elvis Presley aboard. Elvis, returning

to Earth after a 22 year absence, was set free

near Las Vegas, Nevada and according to news

reports has an enormous collection of previoulsy

unheard FOLK SONGS... Elvis also said that he has

not seen Eddie but suspected that Eddie had been

abducted by aliens as he had been. Elvis said

That's not true. I saw Elvis and Eddie in the Mall last Saturday talking with Princess Di and John Denver.

Elvis has returned as the mosquito that bit you last night at the folk festival.

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you all, but Elvis -- and it's definitely Elvis -- has turned up in my neighbor's freezer. We had an Elvis chuck roast just last week, and I gotta say, he was as good as ever.
Blessings,
Barbara

Are we being disrespectful here? Maybe, but what the hell? I think Elvis is traveling with the three Regs, Cletus, and company. Wasn't this past week the 22nd anniversary of the (fanfare) "DAY THE KING FELL OFF THE THRONE?

Eddie is really Elvis incognito. That's why he's been so hard to spot. If you really want to meet Eddie, go to your nearest supermarket checkout line and check out the tabloids. Eddie/Elvis was devouring bat boy and peanut butter sandwiches. (Thats what gives those Elvis roasts such a wonderful flavor.)

Elvis walks into his shrink's office says "Doc, I keep having these dreams that I'm a steam locomotive and I've got this fixation for my coal car."

Doc says "Love me tender?"

Why does Elvis keep letting himself be discovered time and time again in his 70s vintage White jump suit? Wouldn't a nice pair of plaid slacks with a white plastic belt, Aligator golf shirt, and hush puppies be a little more dignified?

I think Elvis should have gone on a diet. He would still be here and we could have heard his folksongs.

Elvis' 1968 comeback show was on tv here recently, the one where Elvis is sitting in a circle with 4 or 5 members of his band doing rock n' roll, rockabilly, country and gospel tunes with acoustic instruments. I recommend this show to any who would put town the man's talent. He was absolutely great. Unfortunately, at the end of the session, Elvis rises, mops his brow, a Vegas style orchestra kicks in and he sings " Sweet Memories", and you can almost see him donning the cape, the belt, and all of the bullshit personna that came to define him. It's hard to beat the early Sun and RCA stuff, though.

Leej, I've seen that show. Elvis, without all the crap, was a just plain great singer. I was never an Elvis fan until I saw that--and never a satisfied fan after that because he returned to the crap and never escaped again, as far as I know. --seed

Believe it or not.... we are getting "Elvis -LIVE in concert" over here",..... I've seen it advertised on TV... There is a live band in the theatre, and footage of Elvis is projected onto a screen behind them so the band is playing along with Elvis......
