Elvis turns 75, is he still the King?
Elvis Aaron Presley wiggled his way into the world 75 years today.
Happy birthday!
The hit maker behind “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Love Me Tender,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight?” and dozens of other songs, remains culturally relevant 32 after his death.
His movies are rented and his music is downloaded, but is Elvis still the “The King of Rock and Roll?”
What do you think? If he is not the king, who dethroned him?

Elvis turned 75? Thats funny. Elvis is dead! He did not turn 75. He would have been 75 if he wasn’t a druggie.

Elvis is still King because there are so many still alive who loved him , and keep him “alive”. As this population of Elvis lovers die , will Elvis still be King , my answer is yes because Memphis is creating ElvisLand to make more money off of Elvis so this group will make him a KING , wait and see. It will be like going to Disneyland in Memphis. Elvis and Walt are probably laughing about this, only in the USA.

Bone up on what’s actually funny, flipper. Elvis is probably crying, seeing how much money he could have made alive and dead. The Colonel screwed him.

Not that it matters, much like this chatter, but I am the one and only true Duke of Hazard. Do not worry, royalty has not spoiled me.
