Lack of coverage on 8-16
Wait just a darn minute! Last August 16 (2006) we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. All Elvis did was die August 16, thirty years ago. I checked and we didn’t even get a single line in the Rocky last year. I request, no, demand, a double “oops” because I know that the exclusion of our event was deliberate.
This letter has not been edited.
Elvis has left the Planet.
If the newspapers are supposed to make a big deal out of a drug addicted musician that died of an overdose, I'm going to demand they make a big deal on the anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix.

Posted by Tom on August 30, 2007 08:41 AMTom, I hope you in your post SRV didn't stand for Stevie Ray Vaughn. If it did he died in a helicopter crash and had been sober for quite awile. That was a true tragedy.I love his music.
I saw him in concert about a year before he died. Jeff Beck opened for him. That is one concert I will never forget.
The point of my letter was Elvis worshippers are a little over the top for me. though I like some of his music,he wasn't that great,in my opinion. I certainly wouldn't spend a dime on a trip to Graceland either.
