Yes, Elvis has left the building & most other places,
But I don't think he has left a lot of our minds as yet.

Elvis is gone, sad but true but how many of you know that he is still the highest paid entertainer in the world. His estate still earns in excess of $30,000,000.00 a year, and his records still sell like hot cakes.

Yeah, his promoters and managers and fans kept pushing him, leading to the drug abuse and eventual death. He should have quit while he was ahead. But hindsight is 20/20, and he may have been bound by contracts, that only death could void.[V][V][V][V]

old colonel parker i think was supposed to have had elvis sign a life time contract when elvis was younger (don't know if that was still binding in later years or not . ) i saw a movie one time where a guy was suppose to be elvis in the later years with the pork chop side burns and some teenagers mother had always talked about wanting to meet elvis so the kid and 3 ? other teenagers kidnapped elvis to bring him to his mothers house so she could meet elvis . she thought he was just kidding when a cleaned up elvis started playing the guitar at the bottom of the stairs as she came down . then she realized it was him and said oh s*** and ran back up stairs !! lol it was a pretty good movie . don't remember the name of it does anyone else ?
