Here's my post from last year. It is unquestionably the most-read thing I've ever posted to this blog and, as of Monday night, was the top post in August.

Oddly enough, Elvis still matters to some 28 years after he died -- although not as much as a major anniversary year; the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports only between nine thousand and 10,000 people showed up, compared to 75,000 on the 25th anniversary.

The BBC has an artist profile and looks at D-day in This day in history: Aug. 16, 1977.

A few words from the Texican Tattler:

I'll be wearing a black arm band today, and I'll be listening to Elvis CD's, and when I sit on the toilet, I'll hold a kind thought for E. I hope you will too.

And if you're looking to rent a flick tonight, pick this one!
