A posting we found on the Second To None message board. The idea is great, but if it will be realized ...
“I just made inquiries at The Heartbreak Hotel for availabity in July (yeah we're going) and I asked what the plans were for the 50th... the girl told me that it is a year long celebration but the kick off is July 5th... all radio stations around the world will be playing "That's All Right" at the same time”.
50th Anniversary Celebration?

What would be a great thing is to work on a 100% TTWII DVD, for showing best of Elvis at his best.But, of course, lot of promoting is needed, and we know that here is where the thing doesn´t work

What a fantastic idea to have That's All Right Mama playing worldwide at the same time. Let's all get working and contacting the radio stations etc. with a view for them all to have 9 months to sort it!! We can do it!!

Great idea for the 50th anniv, but they should start the promotion a month before. I think june of 2004 is when they should be kicking in.And, it should be a huge Global thing, the likes of which popular culture has never experienced. 3 dimentional haunting images of Elvis beamed into the evening sky in all major musical cities throughout the country and world.i.e New York, Sanfrancisco, Seattle, New orleans. Memphis, etc. London,, Tokyo, Hawaii. It can be done, with major news outlets in all area's covering and broadcasting this simultaneously throughout the world. Of course blasting 'That's allright Mama' to the images, with stadium sound systems in place at all locations..
