    The King is Dead - Long Live the King

    Just listening to Elvis this evening here on the 72nd Aniversary of his birth in humble circumstances.

    8 January 1935

    What can I say - still brilliant after all these years!

    Anyone else a fan of the King?

    He had a great voice.. as a musician I appreciate his stage craft; he had it down to a fine art. Liked some of his songs though I can't say that I was or am a big fan... Without belittling the man, he should have stuck to the singing and should never have taken up acting.. Was always annoyed at the fact that he wanted the Beatles locked up when they played in the US..Didn't he have some honorary legal title?

    Yep, I'm a fan.

    If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.

    Yep...better than Bono's anyway.

    Bono is an honourary Sir.

    Elvis was (and still is) 'The King'!
