View Article  What Elvis Would Look Like at 75
In a picture of old Elvis from a 2008 ElvisBlog article titled “Fun With Elvis on Photoshop – 2,” Elvis looked really good. Unfortunately, that is not the case with most of the other depictions of 70 or 75 year-old Elvis that have appeared on the web.   more »

I am 900 miles from home, living in a hospital room with my wife after open-heart surgery. She is doing fine now after several scary setbacks.

Two weeks ago, I posted an article that chronicled an element of Elvis’ stature and importance – his painting in the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution. Hopefully, that respectful column will be enough to balance out this week’s post, which admittedly is stupid and irrelevant.   more »

I went to www.shopelvis.com, the mailorder partner EPE uses to sell all the officially authorized stuff. They had 70 Elvis Tee-shirts for men. I cruised through them for a while, and then I started making picks of my favorites. I came up with 15.    more »

View Article  ANOTHER CHANCE TO VOTE ON ELVIS IMAGES
It was fun to write recently about the 1992 voting for the favorite Elvis stamp picture. There are probably many younger ElvisBlog readers who didn't have the chance to participate, and maybe there are some older ones who never made it down to the local post office to vote. Well, here's a chance for everyone to decide which Elvis image they prefer in a dozen different categories.   more »
