How often do you think of Elvis?

I can remember where I was when he died (I was 5), and this memory popped into my head yesterday for no reason.

I think I think of him about once a month. If he wouldn't be referred in media so often the number would obviously be lower though.

I know someone whose parents are obsessed with Elvis, so I guess that they think about him every day, perhaps every hour. Me, I perhaps only think about Elvis maybe every week?

every week

there should be an 'every 3 days or so' option also though

In answer to the poll question: yearly, if that.

yeah YOURE full of shit, sir

Every seven to 12 months, on average, although obv right now am thinking about him quite a lot.

'think of' does not mean 'write an essay in my head about'

Every few months I think, "Oh yeah, I should start listening to Elvis!" but I never do anything about it.

In all honesty I had forgotten about Mr. Costello's existence until just now.

I honestly don't think he pops into my head more than a couple of times a year unprompted.

And who can really afford an Elvis prompter these days?

Freddie Starr.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Just to make it clear, this poll is about how often you think of Elvis in general, not just how often you think of him unprompted.

at least every other day

Had that Gillian Welch song about thinking about Elvis in my head all damn day.

one of my favourite songs is "the wonder of you" so yeh every week

Including prompted thoughts, jesus. Probably several times a month. He's fucking everywhere. Mind you, seeing him and thinking about him don't always go together. It's massively hard to judge.

I must be some kind of oddball, because I never think of him. And is he really "fucking everywhere"?

i try not to think about elvis

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Maybe I should do a "How often you think of Jesus" poll next so we could compare the results?

And also a 'how often do you think of Marissa' thread.

"How often do you feel like posting stress.jpg?"

I thought about Elvis this week, and then realized I hadn't done so for many, many months. Probably the longest non-Elvis stretch in my adult life.

One day, hopefully in the very distant future, I'll be asked to eulogize my father. I suppose I'll mention Elvis 10 or 25 times that day.

how often does your father think of Elvis, pplains?

Hourly?

Still not thinking of Elvis ever :(

Some of the Memphis regulars here will roll their eyes, but my family used to go overboard every Jan. 8 and Aug. 16. I'd visit my grandmother on one of those days, and there'd be records all over the living room floor. They'd insert Elvis into conversation nonchalantly, like, "Oh, you came in on Summer instead of the new interstate? Had you turned left right when you got on East Parkway, you would've seen the church Elvis used to go to." Both of my parents went to Humes High, the same high school Elvis went to. I had an aunt who went on the ferris wheel ride with him at LIbertyland one time. I turned 42 the other day, giving my dad the opportunity to let me know that was the same age Elvis was when he died.

Actually, my grandfather never said much about him. He did used to bowl with Charlie Rich though.
