I hope that all of you living in the effected areas came through the snowstorm okay. We got 6 inches but never lost power or had big branches come down.
Let’s reopost one of the funnier ones to ever appear on ElvisBlog. This comes from 2008
Have you ever visited Graceland and written a message on the fieldstone wall that surrounds the property? This phenomenon started while Elvis was still alive, and the grounds keepers worked diligently to keep the wall clean. After Elvis died, the volume of fan graffiti proved overwhelming, and the estate decided to leave the wall alone. Only crude messages were pressure-washed off. The rest would last a year or so until exposure to sun and rain faded them, giving newer visitors a chance to add their thoughts.
A few years ago I purchased a small book called “Dear Elvis: Graffiti from Graceland,” written by Daniel Wright, and It contained a selection of messages from fans. Mr. Wright returned to Memphis numerous times between 1989 and 1996 to record and photograph the ever changing Graceland graffiti for his book, and I would like to present some of the best here.
If this was Disneyworld, I’d buy a pair of Elvis ears!

You are fantastic! I never got to see you, but I have come to Graceland each August for 15 years. It still hurts, but the love from your fans all over this world helps mend these broken hearts. Thank you, Love, for your music and all the wonderful things you did and will forever do. You bring the world together in friendship and love. The world is full of beautiful people. Elvis, you are the most beautiful in every way. The world has learned, and always will learn, much from you and be grateful always. Till next year. You sing forever in our hearts.
