1. Today's date seems special for Rock-n-Roll fans...

Pete Best was fired from the Beatles and Elvis died from an overdose.

2. I was driving to visit friends in Washington, had the car radio on for

background. When the news came in, I pulled off the road for a few minutes. I knew that he had not looked well during the last performance I saw, but it was still a jolt.

3. Not so sure,

I was working in Santiago Chile in 2003 and I saw Elvis singing at an outdoor restaurant for 1,000 pesos a song. I paid him 1,000 to sing Hound Dog.

4. LOVE Bubba Ho-Tep!

Elvis died during my first summer on my own. I wasn’t a fan. I lived with a roommate who wasn’t a fan and who constantly listened to the local hard rock station.

I woke up that morning and heard Elvis songs playing from her room. Confused, I got up and asked her what she was listening to, and she said it was the local hard rock station. I remember saying, “And they’re playing ELVIS??? What did he do, die???”, and she said, “Yep”.
