American Trilogy, How Great Thou Art, If I Can Dream, Lonely Man...
When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.”
-From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971.
IF I CAN DREAM
“It was the finest music of his life. If ever there was music that bleeds, this was it.”
Greil Marcus
From his book, Mystery Train, remembering the 1968 Comeback TV Special.
FAVORITE ELVIS BOOKS
Elvis & Gladys, Elvis Up Close...
“The image is one thing and the human being is another...It's very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.” Elvis
“I ain't no saint, but I have tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I contributed something.” Elvis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Elvis as a man was a reverberation of every man / woman at a soul-level, for he was as a little child - without guile, possessing a great sense of compassion, adventure, loving, and humor. He was HUMAN, he erred, yet he was noble, and through it all his integrity remained chiseled in the foundation stone of his heart."

Oh the bronze statue was down in Beale street when I went to Graceland in 2007 I went to Beale street with my daughter to find it. It took FOREVER to find this place not many fans knew where it was I asked everywhere. Anyway it was in the visitors center along with BB King etc...
I touched the statue and set the alarms off LOL I didn't mean to I just couldn't resist I had to touch.
As for my page Melody you have to wait for it to fully load so you can see everything sometimes it's a pain to wait I have to wait sometimes for others fans pages to load to put a pic on for them and it takes forever.
Sometimes it just wont load and I have no choice but to leave it. It makes me feel awful to leave it without leaving a pic but it just wont load Sliver's is the worse to try to load and I just can't get into his page I don't want him thinking I am leaving him out but I will keep trying.
