I never think much about Elvis, except to recount to friends that I actually saw him perform live around '73 at the Anaheim Convention Center. I was 10 and we sat in the nose-bleeds. Good show: Jumpsuits, rhinestones, horn section, 2001 intro, the whole bit.

I have an old family copy of "Elvis - Live at the International Hotel" sitting next to my stereo, totally by coincidence, and I've listened to it a couple times in the last few days, simply in a quest to hear something I haven't played to death recently. I'm always astounded by his amazing voice when I haven't heard him for a while.

Makes me think I have to get some EP on CD someday. Just wouldn't be the same for me, though. I know where all the vinyl scratches and clicks are in every song on my records and I like it that way.

And yes, I like Public Enemy, too. :)
