Elvis was a Wildcat

[Allan Brewer]

Colonel Parker told me so

Happy 80th birthday, The King

Where's the pic of the Cat Fan with the Big Blue Elvis Hair and gold sunglasses when you need it!

IIRC, Elvis was going to appear in concert at Rupp Arena but died shortly before the concert date.

He always nails it.

I'm all shook up.

Although I have not seen him in a number of years, there was a UK fan that used to dress up as Elvis, with a white jumpsuit and a number of buttons and other UK related items on his apparel. Had the sunglasses and hair, and was even in character. I met the guy at the '98 final four.

From Nashville. Liquor salesman. Great guy. Big Wildcat fan. Had a cocktail with him one time.

I didn't care for the 70's, fat, caped, Elvis - but the Elvis from 1955-1960 was ballz-on awesome!

Interesting thing about 70s Elvis: in December 1976, 8 months before he died, he weighed 172 pounds (annual physical records, made public - everything about the man has been made public by now). 8 months later, he dies at 255. So "fat Elvis" existed only for a few months, and it was only in his last tour, which started in March I think, that people knew he was fat. But the mere sight made such an impression that it's lived on in infamy - now the whole world thinks of Fat Elvis.

Like they say, takes a lifetime to build credibility, and you can ruin it in just a few months of Nutty Buddy's and fried peanut butter sandwhiches.....

Thank you all for making me feel young today. I may be all of 30 but I'd always looked younger and now people think I'm 30....plus my doctor said my body is more like that of a 70 year old man so that was depressing. But Elvis topics make me feel like I'm not even a fetus yet.

Wow. As far as Pop Culture history goes... I find that pretty friggin' fascinating. Thanks, man.

Never really occurred to me to wonder WHEN the transition from Awesome Elvis to Fat Elvis took place.

Long live *Thuh Khang!!!

I'll even go from the fifties to about 1965. After that......

I have an alternative take on these observations, that is rooted in the fact that from 1974 (after the Aloha from Hawaii special) Elvis was under pressure from his handlers to get off the drugs i.e. prescription diet pills

"Elvis for Dummies" (yes, there really is a book by that name) claims Elvis' doctor went so far as to prescribe placebos to the star to help wean him off the pills

It is consistent with this deception that the doctor's nurse or the doctor himself recorded an incorrect and understated weight for Elvis in order to reassure him that his physique was fine, that he was obsessing over nothing, in order to help get him clean

I have no doubt that final weight is a coroner's weight, and is not fudged

I also agree that Elvis was a pudge-puppy well before he finally died

None of us are the men we were 20 years ago, he was still the king and one cool dude up until the end!

Rick.....errrr....Elvis, is a great guy. Sets up a liquor bar at our football tailgates occasionally. Has quite the spread too. He used to hang at the games with old "Hoops Head Russ", the guy that wore the cut out basketball on his head. Haven't seen Russ in a few years. He had one helluva sweet UK tricked out customized pickup truck.

Yes he was and Elvis had something few entertainers have today. He could actually sing and carry a tune. He started in the 50's when technology was still primitive. A needle over a piece of vinyl made the sound. Listen to his early recordings and the depth and quality of his voice. Few have ever mastered what he could do. Frank Sinatra was so jealous of Elvis' voice he went into hissy fits.

The fact we are discussing him almost 50 years after he died proves he was The King.

Yes! That was one smooooooooooth voice.

He was one hell of an entertainer.

Most of you guys are overestimating the element of weight as to what killed the King.
Although weight was a contributing factor to his demise, prescription drugs and droves of them was the culprit.

I live in Tupelo, MS (Elvis' birthplace). There's a lot of UK fans down here. In fact, I'd say UK is the 4th most popular team here behind miss at, ole miss and bama.
