I was like 13 years old when I saw him on TV once, and I was so stuck in his looks and at his moves, he was so sexy to me. And then I felt so sorry for his trouble with TV and that he had to be filmed from the waist-up. It got me just a few weeks and then I was a fanatic Elvis-fan who just could not get enough of him. I screamed at his moves and behaved just as you guessed it a teenage girl. And I who had so few friends in school actually survived the hard teenager years by listening to him and dreaming of going to Graceland and Memphis. I set up the date to be either in 2000 or 2002. 2000 because I was truning 18 that year and became an adult and 2002 because it was 25 years since he died. I chose 2000 and it was the dream come true. One of my true victories in my life. I was so happy and I was so in heaven. And ofcause it was Elvis-week loads of Elvis-impersonators, loads of fans, loads of crazy stuff to buy and loads of places to go.
Still when I hear his music I can really feel strongly for the song again. I still think he is one of the most handsome men in history. And I feel so sorry for his dramatic life that turned out to be such a tradic life indeed. And still I concider myself as an Elvis-fan. I will never truly leave his music.
