My friends forgive me even though I believe that Elvis Presley lived longer than we were all told. I don't know if he's still alive, though he'd only be in his mid 60's, so he could be. I know this belief is mostly associated with people who drink too much and then see him at 7-11, but I really do believe it.
Anyone else?

You believe he could be alive?
I don't. Elvis is gone. Oh, he still lives in a sense, but he's gone.
I went through the museum across the street from Graceland once. I wanted to see Graceland too of course, but there was too long a line or waiting list (you had to ride a small shuttle bus over to the mansion and had to wait your turn).
But I did see his guitars and personal effects, plus his cars, motorcycles and the two jet planes he owned and used.

If he were going to fake a death it would not have gone down like it did. - Too much documentation for it to be a fake. He would have done a plane crash, drowning or fire where there was no body to be recovered.

I have to agree with gravid. If I were going to fake my death, I wouldn't have it happen while I was sitting on the toilet. I would want it reported that it happened while I was having wild unabandoned sex with 4 of my lovers. Something glamorous like that.

I watched a documentary on his last days sadie, and I'm pretty sure he ended up killing himself. He was up to 40 VERY STRONG prescription pills a DAY, and had everyone around him doing what they could to get him to stop. I think his kidneys shut down just hours before. It's still sad when you see clips of him (before the Nixon/kung foo thing) all healthy looking & vital.
Microbes, your post reminded me of an old b-movie called "They Saved Hitlers Brain". They had his brain in a glass jar in a room and it continued giving out orders through flashing lights hooked up to it. I think it exploded or something in the end!

Other than my family members there are two people that I will always remember where I was and what I was doing when I learned they were dead. President Kennedy and Elvis...
I was around 19 or so when Elvis died and I embroidered "Elvis Lives" on all of my jeans. But, I agree that if he had planned an exit it wouldn't have been on the toilet.
Not paranoid anywhere else but here!

I'm pretty sure he died in 77 ~ on my 13th Birthday, August 16. Could have been 76 though ~ seems like we'd remember if it was the Bicentennial though.
Mebbe we just old.
I had gotten my first record player (translation for young-uns: turntable that allows you to listen to music on frisbee sized black cd looking things) and was listening to all of my dad's old 45's just that week.
Blue Suede Shoes and Heartbreak Hotel.
I have to agree, The King would not have chosen to go out on his Throne.

In the mean time, I'm still trying to figure out whether Princess Di faked her own death so she could get out of the limelight, or whether ther royal family had her killed.
And wasn't George Bush, Sr., head of the CIA when Kennedy was shot?

Alan Dulles. Bush was the Zapata Offshore oil Corp. doing clandestine operational things for the CIA related to the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs invasion, as you know Barry.

Thank you all for not just writing me off as a kook (well for this anyway).
kraftdinner, I saw that too, and the only thing in it that led me to believe he didn't die when they said he did was the thing where his middle name is misspelled on his grave stone. They talked about how whenever it was spelled wrong in a contract, he'd correct it each and every time it occurred and he was kind of obsessive about it. Now if I had a loved-one that was that concerned about the spelling of his/her middle name, I wouldn't let them lay for eternity with it misspelled on the grave stone. So, really, my belief is based on that one thing.
Jacko, lol!

If I remember correctly sadie, didn't Priscilla want his name to be AAron like what was on his birth certificate, but he spelled it Aron (or it could be the other way around).
I think it's just too darn hard to think that anyone special could die accidentally, Princess Diana included.
