1) Elvis Presley Quotes:

"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ▒Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend — without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you."
-From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971. (Elvis quotes from copyrighted material with lines from the song "Without a Song".)


"There have been a lotta tough guys. There have been pretenders. And there have been contenders. But there is only one king."
Bruce Springsteen

"...it was like he came along and whispered some dream in everybody’s ear, and somehow we all dreamed it."
Bruce Springsteen

"When I first heard Elvis' voice I just knew that I wasn’t going to work for anybody; and nobody was going to be my boss...Hearing him for the first time was like busting out of jail."
Bob Dylan

Lisa Marie Quotes

∙ I liked an Aretha Franklin song and I went into the studio to do a cover to see if I could sing. I basically walked in there and said, 'Let's just try this, and if I can't, let's just walk out of here and act like nothing happened.' You know, I'm pretty brutally honest with myself.

∙ I listened to lots of different things. I was a real big Pat Benatar fan, and the Wilson sisters I loved Heart. Pink Floyd. I went through a punk phase: I liked the Sex Pistols. Never got into the Ramones. Now Johnny Ramone is one of my best friends, but I never really heard his stuff until I got to be friends with him.

∙ I live with selected people I've sort of made into my family and that's my kind of fortress. I know that I'm safe, despite what else is going on in the outside world.

2) Elvis Presley & other Legends

ELVIS’ OWN COLLECTION

Elvis had his own private collectibles, they were police badges and guns.

President Nixon presented Elvis with a Federal Narcotics badge, Elvis had always been a keen collector of the law enforcement badges.

Elvis took a great interest in the law, he would go out of his way to make friends with police officials at almost every town he was to travel.

Elvis’ most valued possession in his collection before receiving the Federal Narcotics Bureau badge from President Nixon, was the Police Lieutenants Identification Shield from the Los Angeles police department.

Elvis also was a collector of guns. He was a member of the Memphis Police Department, where he qualified on the pistol range, just the same as any other law enforcement officer.

Most of the guys that worked for Elvis would become special deputies, because of the level involved in the security work required to protect Elvis. The guys involved all qualified on the firing rang, allowing them to carry weapons.

Elvis took a great interest in being involved in helping police with many youth programs.

Becoming especially close to the youth programs in Denver, Philadelphia and Los Angles.

The King’s generous contributions with the youth programs, were in Memphis. For years he gave on going support and involvement in the work with the Police Sheriffs Departments.

"Hosting A Valentines Party"

This new feature of our ezine is a bonus home entertaining guide for all you party animals.

Your valentine’s party should speak for romance from the invitations to the give-aways sent home with the guests at the end of the party.

The internet is full of Valentine’s Day party suggestions, tips and ideas, all you have to do is search the web, gather some ideas and guidelines and be creative.

If not, you can follow these suggestions that would insure a romantic and memorable Valentine’s Day celebration for couples spent at your home.

Heart-felt invitations:

A long stemmed red rose with a gold tag board hand delivered to all your guests is certain to charm and bring excitement to your guests.

Write in with a red metallic pen all the details of your party.

Make sure to ask your guests to come to the party dressed in any red outfit or as a romantic hero or heroine.

Set the room for love:

Decorate your party room with red, gold and white heart-shaped balloons, crepe paper and creative lighting such as scented red, gold and white candles creatively distributed within the room, lamps and lots of potpourri.

Play romantic music, making certain that it is not too loud to allow couples to have an enjoyable conversation.

Romantic table setting:

Cover the tables with a combination of red and white linens.

Make a centerpiece for each table with an assortment of red and white roses and small balloons of the same color gathered together with a gold shimmering ribbon.

Be sure to make the center piece low enough so as to allow guests to see each other while conversing.

Food for love:

Be sure to make the food look as good as it tastes.

Present dishes with a lot of garnishing to make it look attractive as well as go with the theme.

Strawberries, edible roses and herbs can draw appeal to any dish that you will serve.

Also serve the food on attractive platters.

Serve crab and cheddar cheese sandwiches cut into hearts (using a heart cookie cutter) garnished with fresh tomatoes.

For refreshments, you can mix up a fruit punch and add a bit of red food coloring.

Give-aways with love:

Finally, have something your guests can take home and remind them of a lovely time they had at your place.

8) Editor’s Notes & Fun Stuff:

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

Things I Learned From Noah's Ark

Everything I need to know, I learned from Noah's Ark.

1. Don't miss the boat.

2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.

3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.

4. Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

5. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

6. Build your future on high ground.

7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

8. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

9. When you're stressed, float awhile.

10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

11. The whole world can change in only 40 days.

12. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting.

Have a fantastic day!
