I know it wouldn't have been hard for me at all to have Loved Elvis The Man, because when he was at home and not on the stage that's who he was just Elvis The Man. I have always looked beyond the Image anyway, its a Real Shame that the Love that Elvis wanted to Freely give to a Women was always Blocked because of a Image. Sad

I agree this last part is sadly and unfortunately the truth. Sad

Im sorry I didn't answer the question from one of the posts earlier concerning was I able to be sympathic with Elvis or was he just "toughing it thorugh". I didn't do alot of sympathic stuff unless I "Felt" that he needed it; more often I tried to be "centered" so he could be too, and not dig too much into his heartaches, just let him spill it if he wanted to do so. He did sometimes, he cried sometimes and I did to but quietly and often he didn't know what he said brought me to tears. A few times he did, and he'd always try to choke it back down because he didn't want me to cry "for me"..."don't want anyone cryin' over me, no point to it"... I told him that people cry for the ones they love, it gives the comfort and release and that it was good to cry, for everyone, male and female and I thought it was wrong when boys are taught they can't cry, they can't have that release and comfort of letting it out through their tears. And he said something about, "men should not go round just bawlin' all the time," and I said, well, neither should women! He agreed but he thought it was more a female thing to have softer hearts because they had the children-and I said, but the men can have soft hearts because they too, have the childlren. And he agreed, at that time he didn't have any children nor was he married and he said, "Gawd, knowin' me, 'um gonna be as big a baby as any baby I may have...even if there's 4 or 5 of 'em...lordy, my wife will have to keep a alot of wipin rags around! Meaning handkerchiefs etc:...he had some his mother would make out of old shirts and soft things and hem them like store bought, he said. She even would sew his name on a corner sometimes. He said, "My nose was always runnin' for one reason or nother..." I guess even as a child he had lots of colds, flu and leg pains "because I was growin' fast, ya know. Them kind of pains like kids get-especially active ones." I had forgotten about his "nose runnin' " etc: but it came "flying back" thinking about him crying etc:.... weird what triggers things at times. wjh

Wanda you sure could hold yourself together when Elvis cried, thats one thing I could not have Handled at all. I never could stand to see a Man Cry, and I know if Elvis ever cried on the Phone with me I would have Lost it Completely. But then again if I knew he needed me , then it would have took all I could do but I would have Tried my Best to keep a Handle on my Emotions for him. FairyTale!

Wasn't it Lynn Kellogg who said Elvis cried on her shoulder when Martin Luther, King was killed? I can't remember now, but she too cried but with him and that moment touched her deeply for he was broken hearted at that senseless act and then for it to have happened in Memphis, his home state. He was ashamed he said to me when talking of such things, and then Kennedy's death was another he spoke of...it angered him and he was heartsick at his countrymen's actions. He did not think either event was an "act of one person" and he felt it was a cover up and was done because of both men's "influence on American citizens" and done by those "who actually run the country" - and he meant those of influence and money... who's "greed ate up their heart and steeled their minds".
I remember that line well, as I'd never heard it put that way before-I do wish I had those conversations but I don't and since I don't recall it all I can't actually tell what all he said, but I do recall being impressed that he could think so deeply even though he was making fluff movies etc: and never said much publically at all. those few times he did, he was so sharp and intelligent and straightforward ...but revealed very little of the man who was the image...unless one had been around him, knew him then a bit would show...his sense of humor, his expressions-the eyes mainly and then it would be how easily he hid his heart.
I would like to know the name of the actress who said he cried on her shoulder over Martin Luther King,, Jr. though- I'm putting a line or two in one section when I know their names and their remarks. Thanks if anyone knows for sure. I think it's posted but couldn't find it. wjh
