I'm going to see EPIC-the Elvis documentary this weekend

I can remember where i was when he died. I was at Daytona Beach, literally on it next to my car. I have seen Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Elvin Bishop, The Eagles, Jimmy Buffett, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney -four times, Foghat, The Marshall Tucker Band, Hall and Oates, Van Halen, Wet Willie, and Andrew Gold in concert. My biggest regret was not seeing him at the Eddie Graham Sports Stadium in Orlando in 1977 because most of my peers thougt he was no longer cool.

I only learned about the documentary in passing but as soon as I learned about it I had to see it. Elvis was a cultural phenomenon but by the time of his death he had become a caricature of himself. That's why most of the impersonators are Fat Elvises. Young Elvis was nothing like that. Ironically dying so young made him more famous in death than he was in life.
