The King is dead. Long live the King!

Today would have been Elvis Presley's 74th birthday. Its almost as hard to imagine Elvis at 74 as it is to imagine a world in which he never existed. My mom was a huge Elvis fan so he's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I loved "Kid Galahad" …
