Exclusive Officially Authorized Elvis® Collectible Electric Train
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Collection Celebrates Elvis’s® 75th Birthday!
If you know anything about Elvis, you know that prior to his mother’s death, he flew rarely and usually took the train. Gladys over worried about Elvis’s safety and always became very fearful whenever he was about to fly so he promised her that whenever he could, he would use the train rather then fly. Odd but today we know that trains can be just as deadly if not more so but Gladys felt better knowing her boy’s feet never left the ground. Furthermore, the pirate known as Tom Parker was able to travel ahead and promote the pants off Elvis while he was travelling by train from California after filming a movie back home to Memphis. Stories abound about train stops packed to the rafters with fans waiting for a glimpse of their hero, The King of Rock & Roll.
Elvis would have been 75 this coming January had he lived and celebrations will be happening all over the world. It thrills me to no end that we still celebrate events in Elvis’s life despite the fact that he is no longer physically with us. It proves that in fact, Elvis never really left the building. He resides in our hearts. As best I can, I will include all celebration events here.
