Damn Jane. Excellent. You did it your way. I'm one of the few old farts around here who actually saw the real Elvis in concert. Twice. Don't believe what you read about him having lost anything at the end. Bullshit. He was great up until the end. He might have been overweight, but he could still belt it out.

And I'm one of the few young farts who's seen Black Elvis (Kool Keith) in concert.  And he was crazy as  :o .  Don't let anyone else tell you different.

Nice job Jane..."Perfect for puke of any color," indeed.

Great going, Jane.  Elvis would be proud to be an Astro.

I saw him once, right before the end in 1977. He was fat, but not as fat as he'd looked in the pictures leading up to the show. He did slur over a few words though. I have a horrible quality bootleg of the show and it was really a pretty decent concert.

I did get to shake his hand though. Twice. Haven't washed it since.

Grew up around the corner from Graceland in an area of Memphis that was then known as--<ahem>--Whitehaven (even my Georgia and Alabama friends were stunned that a town could get away with naming itself that). 

We had family connections to The King* in part due to his dad's living at the end of the block.  I used to see Elvis and his posse (The Memphis Mafia) riding their bikes around the neighborhood from time to time; you could hear them coming for a half-mile.  Elvis was always on the lead bike.  As they drove by, they looked like a white-caped version of Marlon Brando and Lee Marvin in The Wild One. 

Anyway, here's hoping the outfield fans at TBAA get to play "Return to Sender" with a boatload of Houston homeruns.
