In March 2011, ElvisBlog presented a pictorial essay showing thirteen Elvis-owned rings that had sold at auction in the previous five years. A few more Elvis’ rings have changed hands in auctions since then, but various websites have provided photos … Continue reading
50th Anniversary Movie Pictorials: Follow That Dream – 1962
Follow That Dream was released fifty years ago in April 1962. It was Elvis’ ninth film and is considered by some historians to be his best comedy performance. My friend Alan Hanson over at the Elvis-History-Blog flatly states “Follow That … Continue reading

Slow Year for Elvis Allusions in the Movies
Every August I enjoy going to GoMemphis.com and reading John Beifuss’ annual report on movies that contain something, anything, about Elvis in them. For example, it could be Elvis jumpsuits, or his iconic sunglasses, or anything else associated with him. It can be an Elvis song, a picture of him, or a character trying to sound like him. And sometimes, his name is used in the dialog of the movie. Continue reading

I quickly realized that lots of important stuff happened, and I had my story idea. Continue reading
