People today are starving for quality music and entertainment. It shouldn't surprise us that Elvis continues to be so popular -- he is the essence of musical genius, he knew how to entertain and have respect for an audience, and he always delivered! What today's young performers should do is buy Elvis '68 and Aloha, take them home, play them over and over and give themselves an education on how to be an entertainer!! I first became a fan in 1969 at the age of 11 and have not looked back since. But, the way Elvis has regained his status with the world at large in the past three years is simply sweet. Elvis will still be KING in 3004!!
