I'm sure he's hopped a spaceship to Planet X, having done all he needed on this planet 8)

And where were you when you heard the news of his passing?
I was working as a barboy at the Haberdashery, a hotel bar, and told a waitress I had a crush on that the King is dead.
She looked at me blankly for a moment and then said: "He was never a king to me."
I've never been good at small talk. http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/cool/cool027.gif

Well, I was in my basement listening to the radio and I thought somebody connected with Elvis had died; I later found out that it was the King who died! The King is gone, and oh, what a reign…

I never knew about Elvis's death in 1977.
I was just turned 3 that year in March.
howard :)

By the time of his death, Elvis had turned into a bad joke. For those of my, and my dear waitress's, generation he was an overweight, overpaid and overrated lounge singer. Wayne Newton was cooler, and I can't think of a more damning way to put it than that.
But twenty years earlier... Elvis invented the rock star. There was none before him, and none as large after. King is not a big enough word for it.
