....YESTERDAY was Elvis' Birthday....



and I forgot!
But no matter, I mean the man would have been 75 years old.
Elvis is probably the best cure I can think of for the blues. I mean I can listen to anyone I love and feel better, but Elvis Presley straight up gets rid of those old bad feelings.
My friend Meg and I wondered if he would have still been doing his thang....I think so.

It's like Jerry Lee Lewis...



That man is ancient, can barely move, yet he's still "The Killer" that everyone loves. Wasn't bad lookin' back in the day either:



I adore him. I have since I watched Dennis Quaid play him in "Great Balls of Fire". Of course I had a huge crush on Dennis when I was a little girl thanks to both that movie and "Innerspace". Not the best movie, but....it was my favourite. I was a WEIRD kid I know.
I loved watching Chris Isaak sing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" with Jerry Lee. Makes me wanna name my son Jerry Lee. Or my daughter....lol
These two men might be why I love Chris Isaak so much. I have no idea....

I mean, I don't really see why....lol

In all seriousness (if I can stand to get there), it makes me realize just how long I've been a rockabilly girl at heart. I mean if you look back at me as a kid, I LOVED to watch movies about musicians from the 50's. I love boys with pompadours and guitars. I always have. I hope that I can find me that boy that dresses like Elvis and laughs at Monty Python. It would make my life complete.
