If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.

I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent.

When somebody like Elvis Costello comes along, anybody can make a good record with him.

Elvis Aaron Presley

Elvis was lucky... He deserved to be lucky...
And somehow I think we were lucky, too...
So many songs, so many shows, films, articles...
So many good things to remember him for...
So many beautiful, handsome photos of years gone by...
So many happy-go-lucky smiles and, in time, so many tears...
But when our tears subside... all that should be left is joy...
This is how I wish to remember Elvis...
For me, there could be no other way...
To know him, was to love him... to thank God for him...
He had a love of life... he revelled in its twists and turns...
This love made him want to sing and to dance...
He loved Gospel music and the hope and the peace it gave...
He wasn't ashamed of the Gospel of Christ...
God's blessings were there, if you only looked for them...
But the greatest blessing is in the sharing of blessings...
It is this sharing that is the greatest legacy of Elvis...

Not only was he a son, he was a star...
Not only was he a gentleman, he was a king...

There were the phone calls and Elvis had asked me to visit him in Los Angeles. This was in 1962.

Elvis was just like a big old kid. It was like he never got past 19, I don't think, in a lotta ways.

Elvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.

Everything Zen

there must be something we can eat
maybe find another lover
should I fly to Los Angeles
find my asshole brother

minnie mouse has grown up a cow
dave's on sale again
we kissy kiss in the rear view
we're so bored
you're to blame

try to see it once my way
everything zen
everything zen
I don't think so

raindogs howl for the century
a million dollars a steak
as you search for your demi-god
and you fake with a saint

Elvis and I continued to be friends, and I saw him once or twice a year. But he was a troubled person.

Elvis couldn't leave the hotel except under heavy guard. It was incredible how they went wild over him.

John & Elvis Are Dead

Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumber
No sign of life since '75
Then one day he just, what do you know
I guess God just called his number
He called me up he called me up and said
I've been awake about a week
I'm thinking about asking the doctor
If he could put me back to sleep
Then he laughed and said
Hey all the girls they look the same
Don't they know just what their mothers
Paid in blood, and tears to change
But the words that made me cry
The thing he softly said
It stayed with me, it keeps messing with my head
He said, If Jesus Christ is alive and well
Then how come John & Elvis are dead?
Youth, beautiful youth
We walked through the walls until we found the truth
And said Change it, it's ugly just change it

Elvis walked over and signed a few autographs over the fence. They were screaming. I had never seen this.

The First Noel

(traditional, arranged by elvis presley)
The first noel the angels did sing
Was to certain poor shepherds
In fields as they lay
In fields fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winters night that was so deep
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel
Noel, noel, noel, noel
Born is the king of israel

Stand By Me

(traditional - arranged by elvis presley)
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship out on the sea
Thou who rulest when wanted
Stand by me
When Im growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When Im growing old and feeble
Stand by me
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me
