The FR Canteen Saturday Night Jukebox Proudly Presents:
A Tribute To The King of Rock N Roll -- Elvis Presley!
Today (January 8th) would have marked Elvis' 70th birthday.
In tribute to him, we are going to take a short journey through his life and music! If you would like to join the fun, please post anything Elvis today. If you would prefer to hear other music, please post all the requests on the thread, via FReepmail, or email us at canteenusa@canteenusa.com with "Music Request" in the subject line.

As always, please remember that the Canteen Music Dedication has always been about the Troops and their families.

1. Known as the "King Of Rock"
2. It is estimated that Elvis Presley has sold over one billion record units worldwide, more than anyone in record industry history. (From elvis.com)
3. The only tours outside of America were all in Canada.
4. Elvis has had no less than 149 songs to appear on Billboard’s Hot 100 Pop Chart in America.
5. He was also a leading artist in the American country, R&B, and gospel fields, and his chart success in other countries was substantial.
6. In 1961, Elvis gave a benefit concert at Bloch Arena in Hawaii that raised over $65,000 toward the building of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
7. The 1984 W.C. Handy Award from the Blues Foundation in Memphis recognized Elvis for "keeping the blues alive in his music - rock and roll."
8. In 1986, Elvis was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. His presenters were none other than Sean and Julian Lennon--the sons of John Lennon.
9. Is a direct descendant of Abraham Lincoln's great-great grandfather, Isaiah Harrison.
10. One of only a handful of artists inducted into both The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and The Country Music Hall of Fame. Others include Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
11. The Beatles were admirers of his work and although John Lennon said they enjoyed his company very much, Elvis himself, ironically, thought that the Beatles were a bad influence on America's youth.
12. More people watched _Elvis: Aloha from Hawaii (1973)_ (live Via Satellite TV special) than watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon.
13. In 1975 he purchased a poor black East Memphis woman an electric wheel chair and picked her up and personally sat her in it. The woman's teenage daughter told Elvis she liked his car. He gave it to her and even gave her boyfriend a job.

MIDI - SUSPICIOUS MINDS

We're calling them RATS…the Democrats
You cannot trust those guys…not ever

Security…they're destroying, you see
Because to hold power's all that matters

Every one must be thrown out with…their seditious minds…seditious minds
They are a danger to us with their seditious minds

They always lie and they cheat…just so they won't get beat
You cannot trust those guys…not ever

Our security…they'll destroy you see
Because to hold power's all that matters

Every one must be thrown out with…their seditious minds…seditious minds
They are a danger to us with their seditious minds

We're in a battle for……..our way of life……
All the RATS will bring to us is…such grief and strife
Shameless whores…oh, yes they are…what whores

We're calling them RATS…the Democrats
You cannot trust those guys…not ever

Security…they're destroying, you see
Because to hold power's all that matters

We call them RATS…the Democrats
You cannot trust those guys…not ever

We call them RATS…the Democrats
You cannot trust those guys…not ever

[mylife]

[mylife]

Hey! that is a good sunday morning song L0L playing it again now L0L

[mylife]

Sunday afternoon music.. Hazel Miller I wish you Love

[Radioactive]

By the way, how do YOU know Elvis is NOT in heaven?? His lifestyle indicated he wasnt?? how do you know that?? did you see anything with your own eyes? No, of course you didnt, so stop telling lies....its gonna send you to hell.. I sure feel sorry for you...

You poor thing...if you think Elvis was repentent of his obvious immoral lifestyle...which by the way was backed up by many of the Memphis Mafia...then you are being decieved..........If Elvis did not repent...which again I say is by the testimony of his friends...then He's in hell right now.

And I don't think a drug addict is a good folk....he was a disfunctional celebrity who should not be looked at with hero worship but held up as what not to do.

[Radioactive]

Yes MOTHER.... Can we go out and play now? ;^)

No...not untill you eat all your food.

And make sure you wash you dishes.......

[Radioactive]

Crawdad was pretty good!

Haven't heard that one in quite a while.

THanks.

[mylife]

Done and Done! L0L

Off to watch the game(s) and eat jambalaya(sp?) brought in by a customer. Aren't you jealous?? lol Made my chili and tried some chipolte hot sauce. I think I will try a different brand next time. Still damn good chili though!!!

[mylife]

Jambalaya? I got a Gumbo for You! L0L

I got Skabetty here and fixin to make a thai green curry pork.

Did you use Buffalo brand chipolte? I made a batch o chili while Carl was here and used fajita meat..it was nummmers

[SuthrnGirl]

I feel so sorry for you.....your soul has rotted.....
I hope God blesses you, because here on earth you must be despised by the way you act.....
Yeah, for real, I would believe ANYTHING the Memphis Mafia said, since they were all of such good character after he fired them....sad but true, I think you're probably in their image...
poor thing

You Elvis Groupies are indeed lost...I'm a Minister and I know what the Bible says...many are DECIEVED....and I'm sorry to say that you have been decieved.

Elvis is a lost soul.....he was living in sin with his girlfreind....he is in hell as we speak.

I'm sorry that he is...but you must know that just because Elvis was a good loking man to women....and he had lots of charisma..and sang well.......he was cursed into becoming what he eventually ended up as...an overweight drug addicted fool.....who died on a toilet in his bathroom.

I feel sorry for you people who IDOLIZE Elvis.....he was only a man...and a man who eventually self destructed.

Not a very nice thing to be...and yet you idolize him.

IN a hundred years..he will be forgotten.

[ozaukeemom]

LOL We ended up having gumbo. I thought of you and how much you would have enjoyed it. The folks are from South Louisiana and know how to cook. Yummy! The Packers lost but the gumbo was great. My chili is still simering(love my electric stock pot). I will look for that chipotle sauce. Happy Sunday!
