A 5th Grader Talks About the King of Rock 'n' Roll

Elvis Presley, for those who don't know, is a popular rock and roll singer. He lives in Memphis, Tennessee, in a big house with his parents. He has been in many movies and when he sings, people get excited. He sings songs like "Hound Dog," "Don't Be Cruel," "Jailhouse Rock" and, my momma's favorite, "Picious Minds." He's called the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Also, Old Chairman of the Board, or something.

He's on the $1 dollar bill, so I think maybe he was president when he was in the 1950's. I found a song on the Innernet that says Elvis is Everywhere.

That's pretty good of a song. My dad wrote a song about Elvis that's kind of mean. It's called "Worms Ate His Brain" and it's about how Elvis was supposably dead and how my dad made fun of him. My dad, geez.

Today Elvis is 135 years old. Or wait, no. He was born in 1935. So he's 68, I think. Anyway, he's old but he wears a white suit and boots and has recorded albums with bands including the Attractions, the Jordanaires, the TCB Band and even played baseball with the Texas Rangers.

Some guy named Dave Brigham wrote a book that's about the Elvis Presley Boulevard Inn. And getting drunk in a bar near there. And he went to Graceland, which is where Mr. Presley lives. If you're weird and want to read that book, you can see it in the Innernet.
