[T]he new owner of 85 percent of Elvis Presley Enterprises intends to start licensing Elvis impersonators. No license, no impersonation. If this stands, it means that no one will be free, without permission, to dress in a particular way, grow one's hair and sideburns in a particular way, wear a particular kind of sunglasses, and sing particular songs in a particular style in public.

Hilton is cool .. it's off the strip and is kind of "older people's" hangout but the rooms are nice and it has the best sports book in town, ever since Celene came along and ruined Ceasar's..

if this guy literally figures out a way to copyright a fucking hairstyle he deserves to be beaten severely then taken out behind Graceland and shot.

he was sure knowledgeable!

well, the more parodic the impersonation, the stronger the case for "fair use." so you could probably be a morbidly obese pill-popping elvis impersonator and get away with it.

Blelvis performed at my college once. I declined going. My friend Dan got a picture signed by him, for some reason Blelvis wrote it as "Dear Ram,".

last time i was in vegas (maybe 4 yrs ago), a friend and i each did 2 hits of e and walked around forever. we walked past the Welcome to Vegas sign and past the airport and into each and every hotel - some more than once because we were so lost we kept going into the same ones. i was puking every 5-10 minutes. we finally saw this dude dressed as elvis and we ran over to him to take pix with him. he and his friends were really scared of us and told us they thought we were skins about to start shit with them (they were british). end of story
