I meant to post this on Elvis' 75th birthday last week. It's Gillian Welch singing her haunting"Elvis Presley Blues." Watch it, and listen to the lyrics, and you will understand all there is to understand about Elvis, and about following your heart with no regard for the consequences.

Every time I listen to this I get chills.

    That's a great song. It may puzzle some that a song about the King of Rock 'n' Roll would be given a traditional folk treatment. But in Britain in the mid 50s, Elvis was described as a folk singer when his first album was released.
