    Elvis to many people now is a some sort of figure that was alive way before they ever were, but he would’ve “only” been 88 this year. He could totally still have been alive just based on age. Maybe he would have done a wired autocomplete interview.

      Shame how he went out

      @ LOUISE JOHNSON Who is Mama Cass?

    • LOUISE JOHNSON

      January 13, 2023 at 1:58 pm

      @Cinema Atrium Google it.

    • LOUISE JOHNSON

      January 13, 2023 at 2:01 pm

      @Karl Marx he didn’t die on the toilet. He collapsed and died on the floor. The heart attack was blamed on his years of drug usage, that’s true. The rest is bullshite.

    • Cinema Atrium

      January 13, 2023 at 3:10 pm

      @ LOUISE JOHNSON no.

    • LOUISE JOHNSON

      January 13, 2023 at 3:50 pm

      @Cinema Atrium yes.

    • Lol Sup

      January 14, 2023 at 6:02 pm

      I’d argue against that. Cardiovascular issues clearly run in his family. Just look at his daughter who died at the age of 55 (I think it was).

      @Lol Sup hence why I said “just based on age”

      @Jim Burrows Bruh. I’m black, of course I’m still going to hate Elvis

      Hate pastrami, love smoked turkey! 🦃 ✌🏼😎

    • Stephen Gehly

      January 12, 2023 at 9:14 pm

      That’s odd. Elvis was influenced by black music. His music is basically black music. So based on that alone I’d think you’d enjoy his music.

    • Sigh

      January 12, 2023 at 10:09 pm

      @Stephen Gehly He wasn’t influenced by black music he stole it and gave the original creator no credit. Or royalties. He white washed it. Example: Hound Dog

    • Gary. Young

      January 12, 2023 at 11:56 pm

      What happened 2 rockabilly!? Where Elvis started.

    • Sigh

      January 13, 2023 at 3:18 pm

      @NoneOfTheAbove actually yes it literally is. If you don’t agree don’t reply. Also, Just because some black artist loved him didn’t mean anything.

    • Jim Burrows

      January 13, 2023 at 5:25 pm

      @Sigh Someone did, not I

    • NoneOfTheAbove

      January 14, 2023 at 12:48 am

      @Sigh No, Elvis was many negative things. But he outwardly spoke about how influenced he was by black music. He never said a negative thing about black people. He was anti-racist, etc etc. I’m going to keep responding to you.

    • NoneOfTheAbove

      January 14, 2023 at 12:52 am

      @Sigh However, as shown in a 1957 interview with Jet magazine, Elvis was always the first to give credit to the black community. “A lot of people seem to think I started this business, but rock ‘n’ roll was here a long time before I came along,” Elvis told Jet‘s Louie Robinson. “Nobody can sing that kind of music like colored people.

      @Sigh “The Lord messed up on me in two ways – he didn’t make me black
      and didn’t make me a bass singer.”
      – Elvis Presley

    • Sigh

      January 14, 2023 at 6:17 am

      @NoneOfTheAbove yeah, nobody can sing music like colored people, which is why he stole their music. The reality is the original black singer’s fame passed quickly because of white privilege, and Elvis rose to fame Riding off their backs because his music was the version that was played on white radio stations

    • NoneOfTheAbove

      January 14, 2023 at 7:51 am

      @Sigh All you have is talk. I’m literally showing you different with receipts to prove it. But you keep dismissing them because you have an alternative facts narrative.

    • Sigh

      January 14, 2023 at 1:49 pm

      @NoneOfTheAbove Because it’s your opinion above all? Sure. Anyways

    • NoneOfTheAbove

    Some sort of time travel pod maybe? Anti-aging bed?

    Funny thing is Elvis didn’t like the Beatles. He thought they were unethical commies or something like that.

    The impersonator Michael Campbell… Paul McCartney died November Paul McCartney died in November 1966 the rest of the band was threatened to play along… John Lennon kept on putting clues in the album covers. They didn’t forgive him for that

    Paul is proof that Elvis would be alive today if he had did recreational drugs and not medical ones.
