Margaretha Rydberg
From: Sweden

1. How and when did you first hear about Elvis Presley?
: When I was 12 years old and I received a single I forgot to remember to forget from my older sister in 1957 I think.

2. What was it that got you hooked on Elvis?
: His fabolous God given voice and the looks of a great, big, beautiful hunk of forbidden fruit!!!

3. If Elvis were alive, what would you like to say to him or ask him? "My Message to Elvis"
: You were my very first love and will be my last love! One of these days I`ll join you in the angel`s choir!! I feel so sorry for you that the physicians didn`t know that much about the side-effects of different painkillers and tranquillizers and sleeping-pills,which made you suffer soooo very much

4. WHICH is your favourite Elvis Presley song or movie? And why is it your favourite?
: Can`t think of any special but I prefer his blues and country songs. I prefered his lovely vocals from the 60`s with that velvety touch and beautiful vibrato.

5. Which is your favourite SUIT that Elvis wore on stage?
: The fringe suit!

6. Who do you think Elvis loved most in his life, his greatest love?

: At my summer cottage out in the archipelago of the Baltic Sea when I heard it on the radio. Me and my sister were crying practically the whole day!

8. Why do you think Elvis still attracts new fans every year, even long after his death?
: Elvis was one of those guys that just came along at the right time with an incredible God`s given gift to sing, an incredible presence, an incredible magnetism that just dominated the entire rock-and-roll world. His soul, his personality came through his music and he gave everything to his fans. Elvis Presley was definitely one of the most influential men of the 20th century I think. But the price of fame unfortunately cost him his life.
