1) Elvis Presley Quotes:
"The first time that I appeared on stage, it scared me to death. I really didn’t know what all the yelling was about. I didn’t realize that my body was moving. It’s a natural thing to me. So to the manager backstage I said ▒What’d I do? What’d I do?’ And he said "Whatever it is, go back and do it again’."
-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary "Elvis on Tour".
"He was the firstest with the mostest."
Roy Orbison
"That’s my idol, Elvis Presley. If you went to my house, you’d see pictures all over of Elvis. He’s just the greatest entertainer that ever lived. And I think it’s because he had such presence. When Elvis walked into a room, Elvis Presley was in the f---ing room. I don’t give a f--- who was in the room with him, Bogart, Marilyn Monroe."
Eddie Murphy
"He was ahead of his time because he had such deep feelings. He had the privilege of deep feelings because he was deeply loved by his mother, Gladys. He was able to appreciate profound beauty in sounds. And he started a musical revolution. They say all revolutions start from love."
Imelda Marcos
Lisa Marie Quotes
∙ I wanted to come through with my own voice and, hopefully, have it affect people. I want people to know that I'm not an Elvis impersonator.
∙ I wanted to put something real out there to end 35 years of speculation. My hope is that I can break through my legacy and earn my own credentials as an artist. Not for some stupid superficial reason, like I want to be a pop icon, but because it would make me feel more like I could hold my head up.
∙ I was quite the spoiled brat. I have quite a temper, obviously inherited from my father, and I became very good at ordering everyone around. I was the princess; the staff were absolutely terrified of me.
2) Elvis Presley & other Legends
Elvis Presley Urban legends
There is a widespread belief that Elvis≈who was known by his first name≈did not die in 1977.
Many fans persist in claiming he is still alive, that he went into hiding for various reasons. This claim is allegedly backed up by thousands of so-called Elvis sightings that have occurred in the years since his death
Critics of the theory state that a number of Elvis impersonators can easily be mistaken for Elvis and that the urban legend is merely the result of fans not wanting to accept his death.
The main facts given in support of Elvis faking his death are:
On his grave, his middle name Aron is mispelled. The double 'A' was removed after his twin brother Jesse Garon was stillborn, Elvis' parents went to great lengths to have it changed on the official birth certificate.
Hours after Elvis' death was announced, a man by the name of Jon Burrows (Elvis' traveling alias) purchased a one way ticket with cash to Buenos Aires.
Elvis Presley still alive urban legend Background
Presley was born in January 1935, so his projected age would not preclude the possibility that Elvis is still alive (as of 2006, he would be 71 years old).
Critics of this would state that a number of Elvis impersonators can easily be mistaken for Elvis and that Elvis' fans merely don't want to believe he is actually dead.
Most people who believe Elvis is still alive posit that Elvis is spending the remainder of his life in solitude somewhere in the United States. Others posit extraterrestrial involvement, although these conspiracy theories may simply be an exercise in self-parody.
One meta-theory holds that stories of Elvis sightings are circulated by the CIA to discredit in advance stories of secret government weapons and activities. "Yeah, you saw a black plane that left regular puffballs of smoke behind it, and, by the way, Elvis just bought a doughnut in Kenosha."
Elvis Presley lives — Media Examples
There have been many documented sightings of Elvis over the years and this has been a great source of inspiration for the mass media to draw upon.
It is mainly to do with the unique iconic status that Elvis holds in society and that people still fail to grow tired about media articles about his life and works.
Elvis Presley myth Books
In 1987, Gail Brewer Giorgio wrote a book, Is Elvis Alive?, discussing the matter. She invited people to phone a premium-rate number to listen to her proof that he is.

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Are You Lonesome Tonight?
This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.
(words & music by Roy Turk and Lou Handman)
Are you lonesome tonight,
Do you miss me tonight?
Are you sorry we drifted apart?
Does your memory stray to a brighter sunny day
When I kissed you and called you sweetheart?
Do the chairs in your parlor seem empty and bare?
Do you gaze at your doorstep and picture me there?
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
I wonder if youre lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the worlds a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why Ill never know.
Honey, you lied when you said you loved me
And I had no cause to doubt you.
But Id rather go on hearing your lies
Than go on living without you.
Now the stage is bare and Im standing there
With emptiness all around
And if you wont come back to me
Then make them bring the curtain down.
Is your heart filled with pain, shall I come back again?
Tell me dear, are you lonesome tonight?
5) Party Planner tips:
"Your Wedding Reception Party"
This new feature of our ezine is a bonus home entertaining guide for all you party animals.
Your wedding party reception should bring you a lot of happy memories when you look at your wedding pictures later on.
Therefore you have to plan it that everything should look, feel and work out as you have perceived it to be.
As the wedding reception is basically a celebration after your wedding ceremony, keep in mind that above all, you ought to enjoy it and savor every moment of it.
Many true fans of Elvis plan their wedding and receptions with Elvis themes.
Things to do before the wedding party:
1. Decide where to host the reception. Take into consideration the comfort of the place that will host your reception.
When you want your wedding reception party to be held in a garden or outdoors, always consider these factors: wind, rain and humidity.
Require the hotel to put up tents attractively decorated with flowers and lighting to solve the problems of rain as it also adds to the mood of the party.
2. Choose the decorations, most specially the flowers.
Talk to the florist of your choice about what you want, where you want it, how you want it and what kind of atmosphere you wish to create in your wedding reception.
Make sure that aside from decorating the place, the florist must work together and coordinate with your food caterer so both can complement each other.
3. Choosing the caterer. Here again, make sure that you know what you want before selecting a caterer for your food.
To whatever decision that you will make, the caterer should understand all that you are envisioning in your wedding party reception.
When he easily understands, it means that you both can work easily together, with peace!
4. Choose the wedding cake. When selecting a wedding cake, make certain that it goes with the motif of your wedding reception.
Consider your color motif as well as the style of your wedding.
Choose it well, as the cake often is the center of attraction of the reception, aside from you (the bride) of course.
5. Decide on the music. Select the style of music that best conforms to the style and again, the motif of your wedding reception.
Normally, it begins as a background, making the music slow and soft as the beat picks up encouraging everybody to dance after the meal.
Decreasing the music speed as well as slowing down the volume usually signals the conclusion of the celebration.
During the reception:
Just sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding party.
Go dance, and have the best time ever with your partner and with your loved ones!

going to a garage makes you a mechanic.

∙ If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never
tried before.
∙ My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.
∙ I have found at my age going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles
out of my face.
∙ If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the
trip.
∙ Always yield to temptation, because it may not pass your way
again.
∙ Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.
∙ A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so
good.
∙ Eat well, stay fit, die anyway.
∙ Men are from earth. Women are from earth. Deal with it.
∙ No husband has ever been shot while doing the dishes
