Nope. I don’t dislike his movies; I just didn’t have any time this past weekend.
2. Do you have a favorite Elvis movie? If so, which one?
Probably GI Blues.
3. Elvis’s appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show caused quite a bit of controversy and had the censors worried about his dancing. Looking back, it’s nothing compared to what the censors allow on TV today. What is the most outrageous thing you’ve seen on TV recently?
Jeez, you’ve only got to turn the thing on any more any the lines are being redrawn. The most outrageous thing? It’s hard to say.
~ BONUS ~ Elvis’s appearance on the Ed Sullivan show was a huge deal. If you were old enough to have actually seen Elvis when he appeared on the show, did you watch? What’d you think at the time? Share any memories you might have related to the event. What is your favorite Elvis TV moment or special?
I don’t remember watching Elvis on that particular special, but I do remember seeing him on TV. I wasn’t in to Elvis all that much, so it wasn’t a big deal to me.
