The Other Side of the Room

Elvis

elvis has such a ubiquitous presence that i think most of our generation fails to realize he at one point rocked. when i think of elvis the first think i think of are the flying elvises. second, i think of crappy, fat elvis. and third, i think of blelvis, who is a crazy homeless guy (pictured) in DC but knows every elvis song by heart.

simply put, this is wrong. elvis rocked and there's a reason why a google search of his name returns more than twice as many results as a search of "the beatles." his face may be on countless plates and he may have died on a toilet, but we can't discount his contributions to music. he did after all bring blues to the mainstream... or was that clapton? i can't remember, but that's not important.

yesterday was elvis' birthday (i think) so let's celebrate graceland with a jam in his honor.

occasionally in our daily life we have the opportunity to witness something amazing. we usually have an idea going in that what we're about to experience will be incredible, but sometimes what we see is so spectacular that just knowing we were lucky enough to be there at that moment in time seems miraculous.

on august 9, 2007, just such a moment occurred.
