Your three Elvis wishes

[ilovelvis]

If you could have three Elvis wishes, what would they be? The only thing you CAN'T wish for is that Elvis were still alive. I think that's a given among all of us fans. Here are mine, not necessarily in this order:

1. A kiss from the king. I don't care if anyone else saw it or believed it when I told them. I would know it and that's what counts.

2. My photo taken with Elvis. Oooh, would I have cherished that.

3. Elvis' autobiography. I get headaches and just plain tired reading everybody else's account of what Elvis did and didn't do. It's been 30 years since Elvis died and even longer since these people experienced life with Elvis. Most of them are getting up there in age and unless they wrote this stuff down in a journal at the time it happened, I have a hard time believing they can remember much of this stuff verbatim. If Elvis had lived and written his life story (or even written one before he died), I'd be happy hearing whatever he had to offer from his own point of view.

Okay, your turn!!

For me one wish would be enough and its:

- One night with Elvis

[TLC67]

1) At least an hour conversation
2) Kiss
3)Live performance
Can I have a 4th? Pleeeaaase?
4) TLC necklace

[Rising Sun]

Great thread!

I think my three would be:

-seeing Elvis perform live
-I wish Elvis would have been performing live in the 60s, not that much like he did in the 70s, but I think there would have been some great songs to sing live...
- Sometimes I wish I could ask Elvis some questions just to know the truth about some things...

Well........

- Seeing him performing 'live' (a priority lol)
- Getting a scarf and a kiss
- A day with him in Graceland

Am i asking too much?

[ilovelvis]

Great answers here. Not to brag because I don't want people to think I didn't want to see Elvis in concert, but I did see him in concert (4 times) in Las Vegas. At least I accomplished that!

But I have a question for those of you who wished to talk to Elvis. What would you have said to him or asked him? Seriously, if I had the opportunity to actually talk to him, I think I would have been tongue-tied. I honestly don't think I could have brought myself to have a real conversation with him or even ask him a decent question. I'd say something stupid like, "I have ALL of your records". Even if he were alive today and I, in my mid forties, had a chance to talk to him, I think I'd pass out. I bow to our man (then I'd pass out!).

lol, so true.
Well, I didn't say that I would talk to him, but the same thing would have probably happened to me If i got the chance to do that
And it would have been worse if he asked me a question lol....
But, I think I would accomplish to put myself together and just say how much I love his music and everything and that he takes a big part in my life and heart...
I wouldn't ask or talk about private stuff because I wouldn't have the courage to lol.

By the way........nice thread

[CRITTERGITTER]

Three wishes:

1. To see him again and hold his hand.

Aww, that was cute Kimmi...
Especially the third one...I think he never felt truly loved...

[ksimms2]

Having seen Elvis perform life
Having seen Elvis together with Priscilla and Lisa
Talking to him have an autograph and getting a kiss

I would have to agree on this one....because I know all of our #1 would be for him to be alive....so since we can't have that....I agree with these 3.

Lucky you Iloveelvis for having seen him perform live! Goodness, was it great?

I think if I were ever to be able to speak to him, let's see, if I could quit crying like a baby.....I'd just tell him how much his music means to me and that I hope that he is as happy as he makes us....

I would say to Elvis that I love you with all my heart, and I think he would already know a lot of what is unsaid.

I have always loved you, the man, the rest is extra, but it is the man I love. Always have, always will, it doesn't matter about anything else, it is the human being, that special soul, whom I recognise, felt a click, had a knowing, and will love him, until I don't breath anymore.

Yes, it was VERY great. I was just a kid (the first 3 times I saw him), but I remember the experience of seeing Elvis live. It was so exciting. I saw him in December 1976 as a teenager. I sat in the balcony for that show. I remember when he sang Hurt, the floor vibrated from him belting out that one note. Oooh. A couple of weeks ago, I took out all of my Elvis goodies I got in Vegas including souvenir menus, etc. you get when you saw Elvis at The Hilton and took a trip down memory lane. Great memories, indeed.

[poormansgold76]

Ahhh my friend Kimmi...you said it all! The "man" is the thing. Not the image. And what a beautiful soul he had...just so good and so "child like" in so many ways. A very rare human being. Not without faults...just like the rest of us....but he more than made up for his faults IMO. I just love him too. A love that can never die....

Sending you hugs...
