Elvis Airplay

With a few exceptions, Elvis was hardly ever played on the radio in these parts 1956-1960 yet still sold large quantities of his songs. The great success of "It's Now or Never" woke up the DJs in Europe, bigtime. http\;//irelandtoo .blogspot.com  (5 hrs ago | post #2)

'Viva ELVIS' to open in December.

I wish I could. But you will have noticed unlike others I have left it alone to sink but others keep it afloat by continually replying to the idiots. All topix forums appear to have more than their share of disruptors. What you don't see/read should not bother you. :-)  (Tuesday | post #9)

Elvis Presley's Birthplace and Japan.

This news is very heartening and just goes to show the impact Elvis Presley has had on the world even the non-English speaking parts. The fine statue of a 1956 Elvis in Tokyo is proof enough of his popularity there, not to mention the excellent Elvis Japan website. Tupelo's citizens will not miss the message in their local newspaper. Gear up for an invasion, a very friendly one! Thousands of Elvis Presley fans. http://irelandtoo. blogspot.com  (Sunday Nov 8 | post #1)
