My Elvis Presley Blog Returns!
Monday, May 31st, 2010Hello Again Faithful Readers.
I say faithful because if you’re reading this after waiting for nearly 5 months for new content, you must be completely faithful. I’ve been away. Not from my computer or home or any physical location but away from this blog about my fascination with the love affair I am having with Elvis.
I’ve immersed myself in a whole another world since January. It’s a hard one. Cruel, heart wrenching scenes of betrayal, abuse and ultimately, more often than not, death. It is the world of shelter animal rescue. If you would like to read more about that world and my experience in it, Beloved Critters is coming soon to a RSS feed nearby. Will update on that when it’s launched.
Rest assured that my passion for Elvis has not cooled even an smidgen. In fact, I think it may have intensified. For the past 20 years here on the Lower Mainland, I have always used public transit to get back and forth to work and used a mp3 player to listen to Elvis while being “transited publicly”. Personal circumstances changed this past February so I am now driving my beautiful Jetta to work and back. Elvis is playing on the cd player although I have to admit, I miss the closeness of the mp3 player. And my CD player chews disks for breakfast so I keep having to burn new ones. That’s a bit of a bummer.
But now I can sing along! Public transit does not lend itself to singing along to Elvis although there are some whackos out there that will do it anyway. All by yourself in the car sitting in backed up traffic is almost as good as the shower for sounding good while singing along with the Master. Sometimes I even have to tell myself to shut up so I can actually listen to Elvis for a change! However, I really do harmonize well if I DO say so myself.
So back to my blog about all things Elvis and it’s rebirth from a 5 month sabbatical. I plan to continue the series on Elvis and his women. It is still a subject that fascinates. Up until recently, the women who were loved by Elvis have been 
reticent to speak of their affairs with him. I want to know why. It’s established that he wasn’t the greatest lover in the world but it’s also accepted that he could romance your pants off in seconds flat! Why than are the women who loved Elvis so tight lipped?
Everything about this blog that was true in January is still true now. Thank you for staying loyal if you’re getting this on the RSS feed. Remember to sign up for RSS if you want to follow along.
