Elvis.

In case you have been living under a rock, or aren't as hardcore insane as I am, then you prob don't know that today marks the 32nd anniversary of Elvis Presley dying on a toilet. Sadly, when most people think of Elvis, they think of "Velvet Elvis"

and "Viva Las Vegas" Elvis.

And Elvis impersonators

And ... these people.

But the Elvis I think of first is him.

The sweet Elvis. Elvis before the boozin' and pillin' and beatin' and tv shootin' and Nixon cahootin'

I think of fun Elvis, Blue Hawaii Elvis.

Live A Little, Love A Little Elvis.

I like to think of the Elvis that walked into Sun Studios to record a song for his mother, Gladys.

I heart Elvis.

And without Elvis, neither John Lennon or Paul McCartney would have picked up a guitar.

RIP Elvis Aron Presley. (Jan 8, 1935 - Aug 16, 1977)
