Perhaps you have seen this photo on the internet. I run into it from time to time, but nobody has ever included a caption or text explaining the story of Elvis and this old car. Continue reading

One Building Elvis Has Never Left Is the Movie Theater
Have you noticed how Elvis continues to loom so large in American pop-culture? One significant example of this is his presence in a dozen or so movies every year. Not necessarily as a character, but in more subtle ways, like his name being used in dialog, or his image in video clips or photos visible in a scene, or his songs playing in the background (or over the credits), or familiar Elvis trappings like jumpsuits and those famous sunglasses, or even his well-known moves and mannerisms.

To the surprise of many, Ronald Reagan came in first, just ahead of two other rather significant presidents, George Washington and Abe Lincoln. Perhaps some folks might have been equally surprised to see Elvis ranked Number 8, but not us fans. Continue reading
