In response to the comments on the wavelengths entry….

I am an Elvis fan. Every Sunday I listen to the radio program, Elvis and Friends hosted by the great Rockin’ Ron Cade. I made a pilgrimage to Graceland back in 2001. I own a DVD box set of Elvis’s greatest movies. When Lisa and I were pre-teens, we had a seance in our kitchen trying to communicate with the spirit of Elvis. Sadly it was interrupted when my mother appeared outside the kitchen window wearing a gorilla mask. I love Elvis.

With that said, I categorize the eras of Elvis in this manner:
Young, Rebel Elvis, 1954-1958
Army Elvis, 1958-1960
Movie Star Elvis, 1960-1968
68 Special Elvis, 1968
Vegas Elvis, 1969-1976
Fat, Bloated, Puking Elvis, 1977
Dead Elvis 1977-present

There are some subsets, like Hawaiian Elvis, 1973 and Making the Rounds on TV Elvis 1956-1957, but they are simply subsets. My favorite eras are 68 Special and Vegas Elvis. And Movie Star Elvis, too. Especially the later 60’s movies like Live a Little, Love a Little. Gosh, I loved Michele Carey’s character in that movie! Did you know that Live a Little, Love a Little is the only movie in which Elvis sleeps in the same bed with his co-star? Don’t worry, he had a board that separated the bed so Michele wouldn’t get frisky on his ass. This is also the movie where he sings, A Little Less Conversation. And if memory serves me, he also sings a song during a dream sequence where he dances with a person in a dog costume.
