| Quote: | | When he (Elvis) started out, at a time when the Klu Klux Klan was still burning crosses, people thought he was black. He couldn't have cared less. He hung out at the blues clubs because the blues clubs had the music he liked. He sang in the style that he wanted to sing in. White people loved him, black people loved him, people who loved great music loved him. That's all that mattered. |
Lisa Marie Presley from the book ELVIS BY THE PRESLEYS

Thanks for posting, Maia! Elvis had a great way to 'break all barriers' and rebel against what he was 'supposed' to be as a Southerner, with his ways of being, standing up for what he believed and his daughter, I feel, has now followed suit, that is one great and feisty, straight speaking (from the heart) daughter he has there, Elvis should be very proud and no doubt with a big ole grin on his face, he is too!
