Where is Elvis?

3864 Elvis Presely Blvd in Memphis, right? At least there's his earthly remains are. But you know, he didn't grow up there:

But any way, he is from the south. As is the fusion of Blues and Country he popularized. You probably call it Rock N' Roll. And therein lies an issue, as Southerners, and especially those from the out of the way places don't get much credit for the brains department. I call it the Honey boo-boo effect. So despite the fact that you can trace most early attempts at Rock right back to 706 Union, the hall of fame is in Cleveland. But some folks know who the pioneers were:

That's just the way it is there, partly due to fact that a lot of the folks there are descending from folks who came here to escape religious prosecution (the so-called "god gene"). And his flashy outfits in Later years? You know the most dangerous thing to society? Guns? Drugs? Obamacare?
