Were lost in a cloud
With too much rain
Were trapped in a world
Thats troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly
*Elvis Presley*
Yeah, it's not the whole song. This is just the part that's always.....well, it kind of grabs me by the balls.
There is a certain image of Elvis that isn't really who/what he was. Believe me, I used to live in Las Vegas, I know. I've seen some things that are out there. Of course Elvis was a performer who was really out there, over the top.
I worry that the talents of the musician and his qualities as a person have been forgotten over time. My kids know who Elvis is....but they don't know who Elvis really was. People should know. Elvis touched a lot of people in his time. Not like Michael Jackson. Elvis cared. That showed in his work, it showed in his personal life, it may even have been evident in his demise. He wasn't perfect, nobody is. But he put heart and soul into trying to do good....and entertained us along the way.
So what? I dunno. But I think we could use a few more quality superstars like Elvis.
Long live the king!
