Time to put on your blue suede shoes and head to Memphis. Get
there in the first week of January for the anniversary of Elvis Presley’s birth.
If he were around today, the Pelvis would be, well, shriveled and greenish, but there are still many people out
there who worship him…and quite a few others who claim he still hangs out in Vegas, although how you could spot him
among all those Elvis impersonators is beyond me.
No matter. Memphis it is, so treat yourself to a trip to Graceland while you’re at it, and if you’re attending
the Elvis Presley Birthday Celebration, keep in mind it includes the Memphis
Symphony Orchestra’s performance of Presley songs. There will also be numerous events at
Graceland. And now the big question: How old would Elvis be if he were alive? The
answer: 71.
