Status: offline 		When I was looking through My mom records and picked up an Elvis record and said "Who's this guy?" to My mother's horror. He was one of her favorites and I had even sung his music before this point (you know kids that love to sing along to the radio?)....but still had no real clue who he was.

Mind you I guess when you are only three when someone famous dies it doesn't really have the same impact

I have no idea why I remember this - I am not even particularly a big Elvis fan.

Turned you into someone new

Status: offline 		I was across the street from Graceland staying at a motel the night he died, I watched the ambulance go in and leave.  The next day I heard the news and not long after the outside of Graceland was literally packed with this huge crowd of people mourning.  I remember one guy tried to climb over the gate, I think he was arrested.

Ironically, I was there because we were burying my paternal grandmother.

Elvis is dead?

Here is the news story:

Elvis Presley • 1935-2007
 
Elvis Presley, the man who jump-started the rock-and-roll revolution from a tiny Memphis recording studio in 1954 and went on to become the world's most recognizable entertainer, died Monday, August 6th, of cardiac arrest, at his Horn Lake, Mississippi, home. He was 72 years old.

That was just....weird, lol.  The author missed one major event in history, though.....Lisa Marie's marriage to Michael Jackson.  They could have had a field day with that one. 

As far as where I was....watching tv with my dad, who was home for lunch.  It was the summer before my sophomore year in college.  I remember dad gasping in disbelief, looking shocked for a few seconds, then he went on with his day.

my mother (being pragmatic as ever) just rolled her eyes and went back to sewing my school clothes for the upcoming year.

Status: offline 		Gee, I don't know where I was when Elvis died. I may have been in grade school having a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich! Lol Seriously though, I was at home watching Cowboy Bob's Chuckwagon Theatre when I later learned that Elvis died. I wasn't a fan of his music then, but in some respects, he did have a big impact on rock & roll music.

The grassy ones are the scariest, but generally the cheapest dates.
