Elvis - A Lighted Candle

[Golden Sky]

You know, I honestly can't think of too many other celebrities today if any really that would be as good natured and as tolerant as Elvis was with cameras constantly in his face, people wanting autographs, etc.

Hi Mari,

I'm just catching the last part of this thread and saw these wonderful pictures you posted here for the first time ever. They put joy in my heart and I thank you.

I completely agree with what you wrote here. Who loves their fans as much as Elvis did, and puts up with all that nonsense for their sake? I can't think of anyone. In a slideshow on Joe Esposito's website he says something like, "Elvis's fans have no idea how much he loved them. He loved them as much as they loved him." Well, I think we DO have some idea.... And I love that Elvis also jumped to the defense of OTHER celebrities' fans; that he was upset that the Beatles didn't appreciate their fans, for instance. It's like he was the patron saint of fans.

Laurie, thanks also for that one of Elvis with the crazy expression. I never saw that one either... it's endearing to see him so "unpolished" for once.

I love him.

You are all so very welcome my dear angels!! I'm so glad you liked them!! He just looks so darn cute in all of them that I really wanted to share them with all of you!! The one of him at George Klein's wedding looks like as if he's saying "I said kiss the bride son!!"

It's like he was the patron saint of fans.

Yes, Ma'am! This is another thing in which he was/is a reference-model too, like in so many more...

Here we may understand what an arquetype is about. Elvis is/was an arquetype of Human Being.

"Kiss the bride soon!"

And thank you Amanda for that very illuminating thought: that Elvis was an "arquetype" of a human being. I'll be keeping that in mind for a long, long time...such a simple phrase, so much to think about with it.

Thank you!
Love,
Trish

You're so right, dear Mari! Lordy, that man looks so great in EVERY picture!

And I love that Elvis also jumped to the defense of OTHER celebrities' fans; that he was upset that the Beatles didn't appreciate their fans, for instance. It's like he was the patron saint of fans.

Thanks Trish! This brought a smile to my face, specially the idea of Elvis being 'patron saint of fans'! Sweet idea!

[MaryInTheMorning]

You are so right Sue my dear friend--the thought of Elvis being "the patron saint of fans" is most definitely a very sweet idea!! What a beautiful thought sweet Trish!!!
