Shane, A few years ago when coming back from Oklahoma (and on a tight budget) we stayed at a campground near Memphis. Early in the morning I headed out in search of a Pigglie Wigglie. There I am scooting along when I noticed a HUGE jet airplane parked beside the road with another smaller plane beside it. This was obviously a residential/commercial area and I was wondering how on earth these planes got there and why, when immediately on my left there was GRACELAND! Turns out that the planes had belonged to Elvis and were part of the tour. Graceland was surprising for it's modest scale. I see lots of much larger McMansions in Northern VA. Luckily for me the object of my search, a grocery store, was just across the street from Graceland. That's a close as I got (having practically no interest in Elvis) but I'd say it was very accessible.

I dont know... I just liked the guys singing style and he was cool in his way... to my mind one of the best.
I can remember as a kid of about 5 or 6 standing on the front porch with a tennis raquet in hand and swingin me hips singing "love me tender" and acting just like Elvis on stage slick back duck tail hairdo and all... what can I say mum loved Elvis! Wasnt me!!! not at all!!
Didnt think much of his movies except one where he didnt sing!! broken arrow I think it was called something like that he played an indian and died in the end good movie havent seen it in ages.
I dont know you folks all live in mansions doncha?? well thats what the idiot box teaches us downunderites!
