Where were you 30 years ago today?

College rush event. I remember being sad for his daughter. As a little girl I stayed with my Aunt Ida alot She was a huge fan, and I think I saw every movie and knew every song. I thought everything she did was soo cool. She wore eyeliner and miniskirts, stuff my mom didn't do. I always think of her when I hear Elvis.

I went to Graceland this summer with the kids and can't imagine what it will be like today. It's much smaller than I thought, and his BIG fans are in mourning through most of the house. It felt sad.

On a funny note, I did embarrass myself and cracked the kids up by freaking out at the Elvis wannabee that was on the tour with us. I turned the corner and there he stood in the jungle room

I was 16. My sister and I were at my mom's apartment in Birmingham. She had gone to work. We were watching TV and when they announced his death, we called my mom at work. She started bawling. I remember that day like it was yesterday. So weird how some memories just stay, and others, well, are so much harder to remember. Could just be the simple fact that I am getting OLD.

Just got home from work and heard it on television. I couldn't believe it, I know it sounds strange, but I felt like a distant relative had died. I was so sad because he had "always" been there. He had his first big hit the year I was born and he sang to me until he died, heck he's still singing to me.

Now what's really depressing . . . . it's been 30 YEARS since his death. Where does the time go???????

I was 12 and I was with my mom, we heard about it on the radio in the car. We both started crying. I LOVED watching all his movies. It was one of my favorite things to do on a Saturday afternoon. It was like my "me time". I used to have to sit through many Clint Eastwood and Godzilla movies with my brother. :roll:

Well, since everyone is telling their age here...I was 23 living in a little house in Kansas with a hubby and a two year old little girl. (Oh yea, was very pregnant, due in Sept.) (Oh yea, it was hot and the 2 yr. old insisted on wearing her hand-me-down winter coat wherever we were going. I said whatever. She sweated.)

Never was a huge fan but was very sad to hear the news. So sad that such a talented person had to end his life that way. Wish he could still be with us today.
