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.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:20 (seventeen years ago)

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?

snoball, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:21 (seventeen years ago)

every week

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

deeznuts, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:21 (seventeen years ago)

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

nate woolls, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

yeah YOURE full of shit, sir

deeznuts, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:25 (seventeen years ago)

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'

deeznuts, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:46 (seventeen years ago)

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

kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:47 (seventeen years ago)

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

libcrypt, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:53 (seventeen years ago)

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

Scik Mouthy, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:54 (seventeen years ago)

And who can really afford an Elvis prompter these days?

libcrypt, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 10:57 (seventeen years ago)

Freddie Starr.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ILX System, Wednesday, 20 August 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Tuomas, Thursday, 21 August 2008 07:15 (seventeen years ago)

at least every other day

latebloomer, Thursday, 21 August 2008 07:17 (seventeen years ago)

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

bear, bear, bear, Thursday, 21 August 2008 08:11 (seventeen years ago)

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

the next grozart, Thursday, 21 August 2008 08:16 (seventeen years ago)

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.

Scik Mouthy, Thursday, 21 August 2008 08:24 (seventeen years ago)

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

Tom D., Thursday, 21 August 2008 11:55 (seventeen years ago)

i try not to think about elvis

Jordan, Thursday, 21 August 2008 13:54 (seventeen years ago)

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

ILX System, Thursday, 21 August 2008 23:01 (seventeen years ago)

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

Tuomas, Friday, 22 August 2008 06:19 (seventeen years ago)

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

moley, Friday, 22 August 2008 06:30 (seventeen years ago)

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

Noodle Vague, Friday, 22 August 2008 07:05 (seventeen years ago)

seven years pass...

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.

Tuomas, Thursday, 5 November 2015 10:46 (ten years ago)

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.

pplains, Thursday, 5 November 2015 12:54 (ten years ago)

how often does your father think of Elvis, pplains?

scarlett bohansson (unregistered), Thursday, 5 November 2015 13:12 (ten years ago)

Hourly?

pplains, Thursday, 5 November 2015 13:31 (ten years ago)

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.
