I guess I don't understand why all this obsession with dead celebrities, especially Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe. I wasn't a fan of Presley's when he was alive, and when he died, he was a boozing, druggy mess. I never really liked his singing, except for 'Jailhouse Rock,' and don't like to watch any of his movies. Guess I'm more of a folk rock and hard rock fan than of Elvis Presley's stuff. I guess I just wish people would leave the dead in peace. It seems a bit silly to me to obsess over dead people, especially those whom we don't know personally. Off that soapbox for now!
