1956 Songs: Don't Be Cruel

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 4 Apr

Why go back 70 years to celebrate my birthday when I wasn't even born yet? Because of this. Rock and roll, and really all of popular music changed in 1956...primarily because of this guy. So, with apologies to...

Pulling an Elvis Presley...

Stacey @xstitcher (39003) • Petaluma, California 10 Jan

I got what I think was a Christmas Card to someone at my address that doesn't live here. I kept forgetting to return it. The return address was on just a street over, and I thought that I could just walk there and return it. As...

Man proposes.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 6 Nov

Good night, friends. Today it was a delightful plan B for me. I was going to read a book and had enough food so that I did not have to get up to cook. But I turned on the TV to check, only out of curiosity, what was new at...

celticeagle @celticeagle (189793) • Boise, Idaho 23 Sep

I don't know anyone that doesn't like/love Elvis Presley. My BFF loved him. She had every record and collected memorabilia of his. I think the only person who didn't like him was Ed Sullivan. But did you know that...

At the Gate, But Not of the Mansion

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 25 Aug

Stoic. My wife said I looked stoic in this picture. Well, hey...I'm a serious guy, you know. Besides, I have never considered myself to be a particularly photogenic guy anyway. It is what it is. Nonetheless, this little...

Do You Like My New Rolls Royce

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 23 Aug

When we visited Graceland, of course we also visited the cars, boats and other rides on exhibit that Elvis owned at one time. This one was a beautiful, white Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud, although I forget what year it was. But I...

The "Elvis is Alive" Theory Has a Timeline

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 30 Jun

The "Pastor Bob Joyce is Elvis" story is a fascinating one regardless of where one stands on whether the pastor could even possibly be Elvis in the ongoing theory of theories that Elvis never actually died in 1977 but faked his...

So much happened in 1960. We elected our first Catholic president. This guy got out of the Army. Oh, and I was born. That hardly shook the world, but that’s what I’m celebrating this month with this countdown of...

I watched one of my favorite movies.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 11 Mar 25

And discovered that it had aged terribly. The worst part of it is that it was Jailhouse Rock. I went to watch it with my father when I was 13 years old. Those were the things that my darling Dad did for me although after that I...

Could it Be the Start of a Second Surge?

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 23 Sep 24

I told you the other day about a Bob Joyce article on HubPages that has just caught, for whatever reason, and surged, and then began to taper off over the weekend, dropping down to just 175 views or so in a day. "Is it over, or...

Rock Title Songs: Jailhouse Rock

Four Walls @FourWalls (86575) • United States 9 Aug 24

Hey, how about that! The nurse from the VA clinic I go to called while I was having lunch (that’s why I’m late, I was on the phone with her), and I’ll go see my doctor on Monday morning. That rocks! So does this countdown of...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112717) • United States 22 Jun 24

Sometimes on the Internet, especially with YouTube, you land on something and just fall right down the rabbit hole despite your best efforts. Take Pastor Bob Joyce who preaches at a small church in Benton, Arkansas. Many people...

Watching the severe weather in Oklahoma last night, I’m keenly aware of what’s on tap for us. I have my plan, which includes a safe place in the house, a bicycle helmet to cover my head (a good majority of tornado...

Tears Every Time I Listen to This

celticeagle @celticeagle (189793) • Boise, Idaho 23 Jan 24

The words of the song hold a lot of emotions just by themselves but the voices together just drive me crazy. Now I think I can say without being wrong that everyone loves Elvis, right? He died an unneeded death way too early and...
