Elvis

I've never understood the obsession people have with Elvis Presley. I used to think that it was due to my youth, but my friend Kelley who graduated from high school this week is obsessed with him. I've never met such a big fan. Prior to our friendship I couldn't have named one Elvis song. Tonight at her graduation party there was an Elvis impersonator. I have a few thoughts:

• Who decides that becoming an Elvis impersonator is a valid option for making money? Do they do it out of desperation, the love of tight clothing, or are they too just obsessed with Elvis?
• Has anyone who drove to an event in costume been pulled over? How did that interaction go?
• What does the wife think of all this?
• Viagra sure did ruin "Viva Las Vegas"
  
• I don't understand the scarf thing. Who wants the nasty/sweaty scarf that some random man had around his neck?

Regardless Kelley seemed to have a great time tonight. During one song "Elvis" got on his knees right in front of her and sang an entire (very lengthy) song with about a foot separating their faces. It was so awkward and unending. I couldn't tell if Kelley enjoyed it or found it to be uncomfortable. All in all it was a great night to celebrate Kelley.
