Reply With QuoteHard question to answer-one part of me says "sure" Another says for all the great times many speak of-it was a hard life to live.
I probably I would have tried it out.......but am pretty sure it would be a short lived trial.
Before you answer this, consider his lifestyle.
Don't critize what you don't understand son,you never walked in that man's shoes.

Work in Progress!
Hard question..I would love the idea of being around elvis but to be honest that lifestyle would be hard to handle. I couldn't sleep all day and up all night and plus trying to raise a family on that would be really tough. Being a truckers daughter l caught a gimpse of what being on the road is like for some and just thinking about elvis is triple that so nope not for me.
I would but I wouldn't. I could swing staying up all night and sleeping all day WITHOUT the pills and the other half of me couldn't because I would want to be able to have normal life and know what was going on in the world.

Jen, you nailed it, honey, and I agree with every word.
(BTW, I'm a truck driver's son. Sadly, I lost my father when I was three years old. My mother was with him on the trip and the weirdest thing is that he had told her earlier on the day that he died that "This will be my last trip. I've carried you around in this truck enough. When we get home, I'm going to find another job." Sadly, that was his last trip - he passed away from a massive heart attack at the age of 38 while driving on the interstate in New York and was dead before he hit the wheel.
Unknowingly to Mom, he had been having chest pains that day....if only he'd gone to the doctor, my dad might still be here...
Mom barely got the truck stopped and had a hard time getting people to help her. Dad's boss came up to New York and got the truck and took it back and sold it not long after my father's death.
I actually have the newspaper article about it around here somewhere. I sure wish that he could've lived to see what I have accomplished in my life......)
That is sad, Tony. You have my sympathy. Death is hard, no matter who,Not hard to ponder this one. My answer would be "****, NO!" There's no way I could put up with the constant mood swings and temper tantrums plus having to stay up all night and sleep all day? Nope, not for me.....

or when, or where.
"talk about the good times"

Your dad would have been proud of you Tony...you're one of the good guys. I'm so sorry you never had him around while growing up.

i hate to be rude folks, but you just made a 14 yr old very disappointed. I wanted to know the answer to my question not about somone's father dieing. I'm sorry that he died, i really am.If you want to leave this forum thing, i don't mind.
Tony was just sharing something that was posted from me and l'am sorry if your disappionted but we don't all stay on topic all the time. Another thing tony wouldn't leave the forum or this thread either.
i'm sorry, death bothers me. i don't like to tlak about it. i don't care what we talk about just as long as it's not that for long
Re: Would you have wanted to live with Elvis?
Hi Dear,
First of all I'd like to say I am sorry about your loss, I'm sure he was a fine man, as he has a fine son!
I'm convienced that death is not an end, possibly to the world we see, but not the soul.
I have to think this way, as many patients I loved died, my fiancee died in Viet Nam, my brother was badly burned in Viet Nam, I was the nurse in charge of my mother, who died at age 52 of terminal Cancer.
I thought I was going myself, had last will and testement drawn up, DNR put into place, and as weird as it sounds, I was almost sad that I didn't die.
As to some, I was never sick, or in the hospital again (past 6 yrs off and on)
that hurts. Came home to nothing, to no one...
Your Father lives in you, all the kind things you do and say, are part of him..
On to living with Elvis... as a friend yes.
God bless
"I just wanna be......your Teddy Bear"
As much as I love Elvis I have to say no cause I don't believe in living together before you are married.
Only on his good days.
The One and Only King of Rock'n'Roll.
I would love to hang around with him every now and then, but to actually live with him and keep up with his lifestyle? I don't think I really can keep up with that. It's like living upside down.
I think it would be a novalty at first living with elvis, keeping up with the nocternal lifestyle.i would give it a go it would be nice to come and go as you pleased maybe, then it would be a good idea.

The fan in me would scream Y-E-S, but the rest of me surely would say N-O-.
After reading about Elvis for over twenty years and watching documentaries about him, I came to the conclusion that he wouldn't have been my friend. His oppinions are different than mine (but that may be caused by the fact, that mine are from 2009 and his are from decades earlier) and so we surely wouldn't get along too well.
So the answer is
Thought about it for a while...and came up with "yes"..... beats the heck out of the life I have here in the "real" world. I`d probably be okay on the sex,drugs and Rock`n`Roll side of things,weird sleep patterns are the thing with me anyway.... The only problem I could see would be my not being able to shut my mouth when I see something that I think is wrong....or not being able to have my own opinions on too many things...... Think I`d have been booted out one way or the other!
Yes. For a while at least.
I have to agree with this one!
Diane
