There was a good reason the women in the audience at Elvis' shows were going berserk back when he was young. And it was the same reason the television networks wouldn't show him from the waist down. He was often up on stage with a big old boner and he'd sometimes get off during the show. The women knew what they were seeing, and so did the television producers. There hasn't been anyone since who could duplicate that.
Elvis impersonators are mostly just pathetic old men. They have no idea about the boner or anything else Elvis had that made the women wild. A few are young guys who were told that they sing so much like Elvis anyway that they might as well make some good money imitating him.

Crooked stupid people can get elected and reelected. All you have to do is appeal to hatred of the White Man and you are in the running.

Elvis was a white trash boy who made it big. But he was still white trash and he knew it. In the end it was all too much. But it must have been fun while it lasted.

If you're really weak, pathetic, and insecure you can gain the courage to go out in public by talking on your cellphone nonstop. Do it while you're driving and don't stop when you reach your destination. Walk all through the stores blabbering away like a scared monkey on a tightrope, desperately afraid that your battery will die and leave you all alone in Wal*Mart with no one to hold your hand.
Memphis was founded as a port for ships coming up the Mississippi River. Basically it had hookers and bars and that was about all. Memphis first got a sewer system when the hookers went on strike in demand of it. Because they were such a major industry for Memphis they won. Nothing here has really changed since that time.
