I'm not buying anymore. Like Elvis' song,"It's Over". It's over. I'm not buying this, "merger for everybody's best interest" stuff. EPE needed NO ONE to promote something that sold itself. It's a slap in Jack Sodens face. The man did all we see now, and they need to merge to promote El?Ain't buying it. I'll bet the King is rolling over in his bed,at his Hawaiian hideaway over this one. Especially if Scientology has their greedy little mits in there. Like Elvis told, I think it was Jerry, who drove him to the L.A.Scientology offices, to check them out. They wanted Elvis as a member. Elvis came RUNNING out saying, "Let's get the hell out of here. These people don't want your SOUL, they want your MIND!" You tell'em El. Now I know why I've loved ya since I was 10! Getting back to the sale. Like my old sicilian uncle used to say, "I smell a rat". And Jack, my very best to you. I think you know your stuff! Take care all my brothers and sisters out there, Merry Christmas baby. Tony. Ps,maybe they should bring back the Colonel instead of this "merger"? Why sell? He would have done the"promoting"for just 50%!!!

I think they should get the suits out of there anyway. The whole impact of the raquetball court was the wall of gold and platinum discs which smack you in the face as soon as you enter the room, now you can't even see some of them because the suits are in the way. I love the suits, but the gold discs effected me more than anything else at Graceland and extra exhibits in there just detract from the impact they have. Mind you, perhaps the estate agent told them to put 'em there.

I was in Graceland last october and the jumpsuits where NOT in the cases jet! And I am so happy, I think that its better when they are in the cases, for protection, but without the cases was more real. Elvis you are the best forever!
