If You Had A Moment With Elvis Right Now

[Uncle_Hulka]

I would simply tell him I've had an uncanny feeling my whole life that I
knew him, and well, and for a very long time, although we've never met.
I would also say that his voice has been a comfort to me, sometimes
my ONLY comfort, during some very black times in my life, and thank
him for that.
He'd probably think I was weird, LMAO....

First I would stand on my tiptoes and give him a kiss on the cheek, soft and gentle like butterfly wings brushing against his face. I would take in a slow deep breath so I could remember how he smelled. I'd slide my hand down his arm until his hand was in my hands and I would stroke his hand as I told him how much I loved him and missed him. I'd tell him that I miss him from the depths of my soul and I wish we could be friends. I'd tell him even though we truely don't undertand it, we still love him after all these years. That the summary of his life is more than gold records and albums, it is that he was a good man that brought people together and still does to this day and beyond. I'd tell him how helpless I feel that we could not help him in his despair as he does for us. I'd tell him I'm sorry for all that happened to him, but I'm glad he came to earth in my life time. He's more than a star...He is an Avatar for teaching the concept of Love. I'd wish him happiness and peace in heaven...he already has our Love. Then I would let him go.

Your words were so beautiful. Thank you. You said what so very many of us feel towards ELVIS.

What year was it when you met Elvis? It is hard to believe how aprochable he was and you are so lucky.

[The King's Queen]

1972. He was very approachable...believe me, he was a people type person. Lucky...? I certainly AM! I am thankful to have known him. He was deeper than most people realized....

[torpor97]

Thank you for your reply. I am curious what year it was you met him. You are so cool.

[The King's Queen]

In early '72. He was on tour.

I have actually met (no, not Elvis *sobs*) but quite a few 'celebrities' in my time. The thing that strikes me is that, in most cases, it's difficult to know what they are going to be like 'in person' until you actually meet them - of course, unless you know firsthand someone else who's met them - which for me, wasn't the case most of the time.

My guess is that Elvis would have been very much like Michael Hutchence, to meet in person. For those of you who don't know, Michael Hutchence was the lead singer of the Australian band INXS, who passed away in 1994. I often hear fans who have met Elvis say how incredibly charismatic he was, and how he had the ability to really talk to you like there was no-one else in the room - really make you feel important and special. I met Michael Hutchence many times over, and he was exactly like this.

Anyhow, I mention all this because I know that it took me quite a while to actually be comfortable enough around Michael to be able to talk to him!!! So if Elvis were around now, what would I do if I met him? If he did that same charismatic, single-me-out Michael thing, I know what I'd do - turn to mush, lol! And say pretty much nothing at all, unfortunately!!! I think that would be the reality. But if I'd had the chance to become comfortable around him, I guess I would talk to him about music, about what he loved about music and performing and creating such incredible stuff. I would ask him to sing for me. I would tell him that he is the most loved performer in the world, and I would say thank you, because he has given so much.

Ah, to dream!

[elvia7]

I would do the same as : ' marijeap' and ' toffe' !!!!!!!!!

[Pelvis]

We all would have loved to have met Elvis, most of us have not had that wonderful priviledge. We all care so much.

If you had the opportunity to meet with him, to speak with him, what would you say? We can dream a little today, lol.

Elvis .......

i cant help but ask Elvis "WHY..why man..why did u go downhill..what happend man...why!!??"sigh

[cibetty]

I really wouldn't know what to say. Would I able to speak? Well, I don't know... Maybe I would just looking at him without words, like this: It would be hard to put into words what I feel about him, that's for sure! I would like to meet him in 1970 by the way!! I never can imagine him as a sick (like he was in 1977) or an old man if I would have a chance to meet him. First I would say hi (or some other greetings) and hug him. And then I would say thank you for the joy and happines what he brought into my life through his music and his whole personality. I would tell how wonderful and incredible human being he was and I would tell him that he was the most beautiful male creature I have ever seen. Maybe I would ask if he ever knew how beautiful he was (physically and inside alike) and why did he destroy himself? I would tell that his music can touch me deeply and can help me when I'm totally down, and I like other entertainers but their music never can give the same feelings to me. Or maybe I would ask him simply: "Did you step into my world, or did I step into your world by the way? I don't know, but it seems our paths somehow crossed each other." And I still don't know how it can happen, how can I love somebody who died more than 30 years ago. I wasn't even born when he died, my mother was pregnant (in the 3rd month) with me in August, in 1977. So I don't know why it had to happen to me but I would tell that I am happy that I can know him and I can hear his beautiful songs, I can hear his magical voice anytime I need it. It is really one of the most wonderful things that ever happened to me.

Just imagine that you are in Elvis' dressing room at the Hilton in Las Vegas, you know something is going to happen, because you heard Colonel Parker say: "Elvis can you come and meet some fans from England." You are thinking to yourself "did I hear right, did the Colonel actually ask Elvis to come and see us or was I just hearing things!"

Then all of a sudden a guy, all dressed in black, his hair combed straight back, so amazingly handsome appeared - it was Elvis. His photos just do not do him justice, he looks so young. I received a kiss from him, and to make sure I wasn't dreaming all this up, I kissed him again and when he smiles at you, he makes you feel that you are someone special, you feel as though your legs are going to turn to jelly and collapse.

We all want to ask him questions, but it was him who asked the questions - "did we have a good journey to America, are we enjoying ourselves" but you would have to listen carefully as he spoke very soft.

When Elvis was signing autographs he asked me my name. My mind went completely blank. "You must have a name" Elvis said. How can anyone forget their own name, but I did, there in front of me was Elvis Presley just looking at me with those gorgeous blue eyes and that smile just waiting for me to answer him. Then my name suddenly came back to me "Oh... Rita" and Elvis replied with a laugh in his voice and said to me: Rita are you sure," "Yes" I replied and then he signed my menu. That is what it is like when you meet Elvis, he treated his fans with respect, he had time for you and he made you feel so special.

I loved your story!! It's really touching!! Thanks for sharing this!!

Sort of wonder here a bit ,thinking maybe if Elvis was in this era now with us , would his thoughts and visions be somewhat different ? We live in a way different world now and with all the technical gadgets available and the state of our political world amoungst all countries and all our problems here at home........and even our internet use.......would Elvis be directed onto a completely different road with a different outcome in his life ?
...............but if I could pose He a question I would ask him if he would like to don a disguise and run up to the nearest pub and have a few ice cold mugs of import brewthen i could cheat a bit by asking him a 1000 questions while we were drinking up !!!

I like your plan Rams!!

[Cryogenic]

First and foremost, some deep words of thanks.

Then . . .

Questions on films (his own and cinema in general), music (ditto), politics, philosophy and life. I'd really like to know what some of his most personal, private thoughts were / are -- but that rather necessitates being with him for longer than a few minutes or hours, on multiple levels.

It's what I'd like too.
However, I think it would take longer than a few minutes for him to share all his thoughts and feelings with only a brief meeting too.
I'd take the time if he was willing !
