50th Anniversary Movie Pictorials: Flaming Star – 1960

Posted on December 6, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Last October, we started a new series of pictorial essays celebrating the 50th anniversaries of Elvis’ movies. Number two in the series is Flaming star, which opened in December 1960.

Posted on December 17, 2009 by | Leave a comment

The Rock & Fall Hall of Fame announced the Class of 2010 inductees today, and for some reason, they skipped the Sidemen category. This means that Jerry Scheff, Ronnie Tutt, Glen D. Hardin and John Wilkinson will have to wait at least another year to join TCB band leader James Burton in the Rockhall. Continue reading →

One Last Hall of Fame Pitch

Posted on May 10, 2009 by | Leave a comment

OK, now that DJ Fontana and Bill Black have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, we fans are happy that all of Elvis’ bandmates of the 50s are honored in the “Sidemen” category. We’ve talked about that here, and I’ve also asserted that the rest of the 70s TCB guys should join them next year. Surely there aren’t any more Elvis-related musicians worthy of Rock Hall cheerleading. Continue reading →

Columnist Andrea Basora had organized her selections into four categories: “The Basics,” The Absurdists, “The Truly Weird,” and “The Music, Movies and Memorabilia.” Well, we’ve already covered weird and absurd, so let’s take a look at the more mainstream blogs she liked.

Hello, My Name Is…

Posted on May 18, 2008 by | Leave a comment

You are probably familiar with the way Johnny Cash opened his concerts. He would walk out on stage, go to the mike, and say, “Hello, my name is Johnny Cash.” Elvis Presley was obviously aware of this mannerism, because he opened several of his live shows a very similar way.
