Lisa Marie Quotes

Music has always gotten me through life, particularly honest, real music. Lisa Marie Presley

With a lot of hair and make-up then I'm possibly, remotely attractive. But it's rare, I don't think I'm ugly but I'm nothing particularly special. I'm not a yoga and health girl. I don't exercise that much and I eat crap and smoke and bite my nails. Lisa Marie Presley

4) Favourite Elvis song Lyrics for
Green, Green Grass Of Home

This new feature of our ezine is for karaoke superstars & the fans that just like to sing-along with the King.

LYRICS:

The old home town looks the same,
As I step down from the train,
And there to meet me is my mama and papa
Down the road I look and there runs Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me,
All creatures smiling sweetly
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

The old house is still standing,
Though the paint is cracked and dry
And there's an old oak tree that I used to play on
Down the lane I'll walk with my sweet Mary
Hair of gold and lips like cherries
It's good to touch the green, green grass of home

Then I awake and look around me
Cold gray walls surround me
And I realize that I was only dreamin'
There's a guard and there's a sad old padre
Arm and arm we'll walk at daybreak
Again I'll touch the green, green grass of home

Yes, they'll all be there to meet me
In the shadow of that old oak tree
As they lay me beneath the green, green grass of home

5) Elvis Presley Forever:

Elvis’ Generosity

Elvis Presley was a generous man. Not only to those who worked for him, his family and friends, but often to strangers and regular gifts to charities, both national and local. Christmas time every year Elvis would donate around $100,000 to organized charities.

Some of Elvis’s generous gifts donated to charities would become public knowledge, but the rest of the donations were only known to a hand full of people, who were directly involved in the life of Elvis Presley.

These generous gifts in total, annually would reach a figure of 2 million dollars during the period of Elvis’s life when he was able to distribute that amount of money to organized charities.

There were also some small gifts generously given, one of which went to a crippled lady. Elvis personally delivered a brand new wheelchair.

Large and small amounts were generously given to relatives, friends and those who worked for him were also very much considered, with motorcycles, Cadillac’s, horses, trucks and cash gifts, TCB and TLC necklaces were a symbolized gift given to the guys who worked for him and their wives, identification bracelets and Christmas gifts.

Bonus’s were considered as a small part of his generosity.

Elvis offered many wonderful gifts to his family and friends. His generosity at times would involve building a beautiful new home for his father Vernon and wife Dee.

Elvis bought Joe Esposito a house in California. He gave Jerry Schilling $30,000 to buy a home also in California.

He had given a $50,000 cheque to the Motion Picture Relief Fund Home and Hospital. This large amount was one of the largest ever given and was accepted on behalf of the Hospital, by Frank Sinatra.

When it came to a special occasion, like Weddings. Elvis had great joy in these occasions. He picked up the expenses for Joe Esposito and Jenny Schilling wedding in 1970.

There were also others, Elvis paid for Dick Grobs wedding. Then his wedding gift to Dick and Marilyn was a new automobile.

George Klein was the next in line, George asked Elvis to be his best man. Elvis proudly accepted, offering to pay for the wedding and reception in Las Vegas.

All arrangements were made for the wedding to take place on the top floor of the Hilton; it was Elvis’ suite, which was beautifully decorated for the wedding. The catering was also organized for the reception.

Then all expense paid first class flights were arranged for the 15 couples being present.

Elvis Presley’s sincere generosity came from deep within, giving to others whether in his music to his fans or giving donations to selected organizations. His personal gifts to those he loved, was his way of sincere thanks to those who loved him.

7) Elvis Presley Trivia:

• The 1960 Broadway musical Bye Bye Birdie is a supposed satire about the effects of the compulsory U.S. military draft on a famous singer similar to Presley.

• He was proud of his role in King Creole because the part was originally offered to his idol James Dean. Although songs were later slipped into the movie, Elvis considered it his best work.

8) Editor’s Notes & Fun Stuff:

Some humour to put a smile on your face!

I have always rather enjoyed this old chestnut....

Who Wears the Pants?

There were three guys talking in the pub. Two of them were talking about the amount of control they had over their wives, while the third remained quiet.

After a while one of the first two turned to the third and said, "Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?"

The third fellow said, "I'll tell you -- just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."

The first two guys were amazed. "Wow! What happened then?" they asked.

The third man took a healthy swallow of his beer, sighed and uttered, "She said, 'Get out from under the bed and fight like a man.'"
