4/21/14 Graceland - Miscellaneous

(Memphis, TN)

Elvis Presley records selling from 89 cents for 45’s all the way to $3.98 for his latest album.

Everywhere in the area was gift shops. You could buy anything and everything Elvis!  These are items from days gone by.

Today, you can buy Elvis luggage.

Want popcorn that comes in a container shaped like a guitar with a picture of Elvis in a Hawaiian shirt with a yellow lei?  Hey, you can get it here!

You can even buy replica’s of his jumpsuits.  But then again, at these prices maybe they ARE his.  This blue number goes for $2025.00!

The red one….


Will anyone ever be able to fill these?


Elvis movies. Personally, I’m not a fan of his movies.  In fact, neither was he.  He wanted to play some serious parts and do some serious acting  but the powers to be were hell-bent on light comedy musicals.  I guess if you were a teenager when he made his movies and swooned at every lip curl then these movies were the ticket for you.  I guess I was just too young to appreciate them.

In 1968 Elvis made a TV special and it was watched by 1.4 million people around the world.  More people watched this than the moon walk in 1966.


SiriusXM offers Elvis Radio and it is broadcast live from Graceland.


Everywhere we go Bob gets one of those flattened pennies.  He has quite the collection now.

 

So there it is, Graceland.

WE CAME….

WE SAW…..

WE EXPERIENCED…..
