3. I think he was confused

In one of his songs he sings about listening to his songs on the radio when he was a little kid. "Raised on Rock"


"Listening to the music that my idols made
I knew every single record the DJ's played
A honky tonk a Hound Dog, a Johnny B. Goode
Chain Gang, Love Is Strange, Knock On Wood"

[Orsino]

4. To get to the Other Side n/t

5. What did the sailors say as they were leaving Norfolk VA?

"so long, shit city." (true)
(no offense, Norfolk is actually not too bad...apparently not much fun for sailors however)

OK mrscorpio, whats Elvis gotta do with it? I'm holding up my end here, but this is a crashing dead end, yknow

[MrScorpio]

6. I'm holding down Newport News on this end

We have our very own Elvis over here.

I know, I saw him at the video store.

smear on the carpet in the shape of a heart breaking
