Terry Beeson Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Naw, Dano... You're famous for two things... 1. The Elvis announcement... 2.

DOITLOOKIT Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I was living here in Springfield and had attended his concert at Hammons Student Center three weeks before.
Don Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Neat story Dano. I was 15 years old at home with my parents when it was announced on TV. I called a friend of mine (who still flyfishes with me today) and told him. About 12 years later, I stopped at a greasy spoon in the middle of Montana. Elvis was there, still alive. He cooked my cheeseburger. Don Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
skeeter Posted August 25, 2007 Posted August 25, 2007 I and several others were saying "good riddance" to a despised, amoral "greaser" who screwed everything he could that wore a skirt, had next to no acting talent and who abused drugs. This is what we were supposed to look up to and admire? Get serious !!! God blessed him with somewhat of a voice and somebody was smart enough to advise him to copy and imitate the leading black musicians of the 50's. You wanted to know and you got the unbiased truth and I guarantee there are thousands who feel the same way but are afraid to openly admit it due to Elvis mania. Let the barbs and arrows commence and I could care less, the truth often hurts !
