Elvis Presley 1999
Gary Pig Gold, purrmag.com, Spring 1999
IT WAS ELVIS' BIRTHDAY a few weeks ago. While this fact usually only piques the interest of a few misguided Teddy Boys overseas at this terribly late stage in the game (or, as "they" would have us believe, their middle-aged, gap-toothed brethren south of the Mason Dixon line), January 8, 1999 got me to thinking, probably for the first time ever, why Elvis?
