Day 9 of 365- The one about Elvis
So yesterday would have been Elvis Presley's 75th birthday. The legendary performer died in 1977. But by that time he had become a shell of his former self.
I understand that he was incredibly talented, but why do we still treat him so reverentally. By the early 70's he was basically phoning it in, both on film and on in the studio.
Why do so many people have this theory that he is still alive. I bet that if he had faked his own death that he would have passed by now, simply on the merrit of how he treated his body.
So lets celebrate the man's musical accomplishments for what they were, the beging of many great things in music. But not as the ONLY great performer.
