Happy Birthday, Elvis! January 8 being his birthday is indelibly imprinted in my mind thanks to the 1983 movie _DC Cab_. The Gary Busey character loudly declares he takes that day off every year in tribute. ---

Elvis was born the same year as my father who’s still going strong, so Elvis could be too. ---

Last night I just happened to turn to check what TCM had on. It was Elvis’ 1970 tour. I tuned in just as he was kissing the women in the audience. First he bent down from stage to kiss numerous women, then he jumped off the stage into the audience. He was smooching them all on the lips. My husband said very deadpan - I guess no one was worried about germs back then. 🤣 🤣 ---
