Elvis
Presley had a reputation as a night owl and a new exhibit at the
Graceland museum gives a peek into his nocturnal activities.
A jukebox, wrapped in yellow and green neon, provided a steady
supply of popular music. Film clips show family and friends
discussing late-night excursions to an amusement park or his
favourite cinema, which he would rent for the night. (Appeared
21st.March 2006).

Bill Haley might have got there before him ( he had his
first hit with Rock This Joint in 1951 ), but Haley
was chubby, Married-and above all corny. But Presley was
snake hipped, macho - and above all, carnal. (Written by
Barry Egan and published in the "Sunday Independent" on Sunday
20th. August 2000)

Ronald Regan.

Presley, star of the Naked Gun series, has had a strange life.
Married to Elvis at twenty-two, divorced at twenty-seven. Now
things are getting really weird: her friend OJ Simpson is up on
murder charges and her daughter Lisa Marie has married Michael
Jackson. (Written by Alan Corr and published in "The RTE Guide"
the magazine of the National TV Station in November 1994)

What
must it have been like to be there when Elvis burst upon the scene? I know
what it was like in Kells, Co. Meath. I think I was in high babies
at the time. Those bleak mornings in the school yard were taken up with
discussions about the latest episode of Champion The Wonder Horse.
Television was still a novelty then so only a few of us had
witnessed some riotous footage of the emerging Hillbilly Cat. (Written by Eamon
Carr and published in the Souvenir Programme of "A NIGHT TO
REMEMBER" a charity event held by the club in Jury's
Hotel, Dublin on 7th. April 1991)

The
bubblegum cards must have been a buzz. At first, photographs from '54 show
a young man intent on reinventing himself. He's going to break out of that
cycle of poverty which might just condemn him to a lifetime of low
rent housing and succession of odd jobs. (This article also written by Eamon Carr was published in the programme of 'Remembering
Elvis' a
charity event run by the club for Elvis's 20th. Anniversary on 17th. August
1997,and was held in Leopardstown Racecourse and supported by Ireland's national
radio station R.T.E)

Dublin has seen priceless artefacts before, of course. there was the
Kremlin gold, the Chinese terracotta army, Caravaggio's
paintings-and now Elvis Presley's suit. And if you thought the
security was tight for the other exhibitions, you don't know
The Elvis Presley Fan Club. Graceland's communications manager Patsy
Anderson personally carried the studded suit in a case to Dublin
for the fan club's charity fund raiser.
