the drama King

If you haven't had your Heart ripped to shreds by the
song that only Elivs could sing - then maybe you were
just born 11 years too late.

I'm talking about Are You Lonesome Tonight - but what
I'm really thinking  - and always have - about this classic
downer - is how Elvis steps up in the middle of the Song and
comes right out and Speaks as well as he Always sings.

It's funny that you can't really help paying attention to the
Spoken word - when the whole idea of a song is that it is
supposed to be Sung.

Know what I mean?

Let me refresh your Memory in case some of you old-timers
have forgotten the part that will Live On Forever in the Hearts
of us Losers (pretty good huh?)
~~~

I wonder if you're Lonesome tonight
You know someone said that the world's stage
And each must play a part...


Oh gee folks - you know the rest.


But for those of us who knew Elvis well - aren't we glad that
we did - and that he Lives On Forever reminding us that we
are Losers (and we know who we are.)
