    Seems like only yeasterday I was hearing about Elvis! He was only 42! I love a lot of his music, but his lifestyle didn't impress me. I think I enjoy his music more now than I did when I was hearing it new.

    I was 13 years old, and in a fabric store at the time when it was announced on a radio station the store was playing! One of those moments I'll never forget. Anybody else remember exactly where they were when they heard the news?

    I was with my mom driving to Montauk Point LI NY for a vacation/business trip. We were on Montauk Hwy listening to the car radio when it was announced the king of rock and roll died. I was 22.

    Elvis isn't dead. He works at our corner gas station selling lottery tickets.

    I was 21 and only been married 1 year. I think I was in the car driving to work. How sad that he died so young, and that those involved in his medical care couldn't prevent it.
