Elvis the King

Elvis aka Ben, Jenny's fiance!
This photo reminded me that I watched footage of Elvis last night, spurred on by my mate who recently saw the DVD and is now a big fan. I thought she had lost the plot a bit, going on about Elvis in this day and age... but it turns out he is AMAZING!
I feel like I've just discovered this cult personality, whose talent, for me, up till now has been clouded by his fame, reputation and impersonators. Encountering the real Elvis is something else altogether. Seeing him perform has made me feel ashamed I ever religiously watched Pop Idol or bought the Hear'say CD - and it has taken quite something for me to turn my pride in those things to shame! Are there any other Elvis fans out there or have I lost the plot?
