The warden threw a party in the county jail.
Today is August 16th, the 35th anniversary of the death of my most favorite of all musicians, Elvis Presley. To commemorate TCM is having an Elvis-athon, including Jailhouse Rock and Viva Las Vegas.
Two true facts about me!
1) Elvis was my first celebrity crush. (possibly only predated by my crush on Luis from Sesame Street. Luis/Maria is the first pairing I remember consciously shipping, long before I entered first grade and was all OTP about He-Man/Sorceress. I started young.:)
2) The first record (and yes, it was a record) I actually owned was an Elvis Presley Greatest Hits. I got it for either my 5th birthday or for Christmas that year (I just remember unwrapping it at my grandmother's house, not the occasion.) Whenever I would listen to it I would stare raptuously at Elvis' pretty picture on the cover. I don't know if this was the beginning of my weakness for dark-haired, blue-eyed men or merely the first manifestation of it.
