I'm still waiting on Wal-Mart to get them here. It's quite funny. The Aloha dvd comes out, and Wal-Mart gets the Aloha cd for the first time in 4 years.

I am heading up to Memphis on Thursday to make the round of Elvis sites once again. There's a Beatles photo exhibit at one of the museums there so I'm hoping to catch that too.

Regarding the new DVDs, I have the 68 special and Aloha concert on video, do these new DVDs have a lot of bonus footage on them?

I particularly loved the "'68 Comeback Special". The man was an absolute genius and a great entertainer. That show is absolutely unforgettable, particularly "If I Can Dream".

The recent remixes on the two recent Elvis greatest hits compliations were quite enjoyable. Here's one: Rubberneckin' (Paul Oakenfold mix)

Wasn't "Charro" that film in which Elvis was a cowboy? If I'm thinking of the right film it was hilarious!
