he's been dead nearly as long as he was alive.

Loved his 68 comeback gig.

I remember clear as day, coming out of the bog after having a piss and my mam told me it had just been on the wireless that Elvis had died.

aye, got back from school and me mam was in tears with the radio on, playing back-to-back Elvis.

didn't fully realise at the time his significance to the music industry, not just rock.

Sun Sessions and King Creole are my favourite - great film, like.
