Matter of fact, I have a Sebastian Haff action figure that my daughter gave me. I'll add Heartbreak Hotel to the Netflix queue.<BR/><BR/>Gifted Typist, yeah, I was surprised it was that old too. But a lot of stuff surprises me like that lately.<BR/><BR/>Kirby, I know what you mean. I drove right by Sun Studio--my daughter saw it as I drove past. I found the Lorraine Motel accidentally the same way first time we visited, after a night out. I turned a corner and there it was, which was surreal and sad at 2 am.<BR/><BR/>And when you said you were there to "track someone down" what exactly did you mean? I love talk like that.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09747874295331152779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27540291.post-3941049973827214292008-04-03T19:45:00.000-04:002008-04-03T19:45:00.000-04:00I've always wanted to get down to Graceland.

If you don't, look it up. You'll love it, I guarantee.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27540291.post-61207521420872631282008-04-03T18:19:00.000-04:002008-04-03T18:19:00.000-04:00Being a second generation Elvis fan, I must recomm...Being a second generation Elvis fan, I must recommend two movies, if you've never seen them:<BR/><BR/>Heartbreak Hotel - totally corny guilty pleasure of a movie about a teenager who kidnaps Elvis in order to stop his mother's emotional breakdown. Also a wonderful fantasy about what might have happened if Elvis had taken charge of his life and gotten away from the drugs and the Colonel.<BR/><BR/>Bubba Ho-Tep - Hilarious sci-fi thriller with Bruce Campbell as a aging Elvis. He's stuck in a rest home because no one will believe that he's the real thing and not an impersonator. Oh, also stars Ozzie Davis as JFK. Awe.

That's pretty cool it's still going!<BR/><BR/>I forgot to mention in my last comment, but we received Mystery Train from Netflix today.

I was just driving along checking the street numbers when all of a sudden, BAM there's Sun Studio. It has such a huge place in history, I was shocked at how small it was. Kind of the way I felt when I realized I had driven past the Alamo several times without noticing it. <BR/><BR/>I love Memphis.

Next stop is Vicksburg, I'll put up that post later tonight.<BR/><BR/>Splotchy, thanks! You'll love Sun Studio--did you know it's still an active recording studio? I know if I was a musician that's where I'd want to record.<BR/><BR/>Barbara, you are so welcome!
