Friday, January 8, 2010 – The Birthday

Something was up. The classic movie channel was showing Elvis Presley movies all day, one right after the other. It seems this was his birthday. He would have been seventy-five, had things worked out differently. But they didn't work out differently. Still, it seemed like a good idea to check out Hollywood Boulevard on Elvis' seventy-fifth birthday. Here it is, just another day in Hollywood.

Across the street, Marilyn Monroe, also quite dead, is smiling at him –

Down the street, Erroll Flynn looks on approvingly –

At the store that specializes in rare vinyl record albums, someone else claims to be the greatest –

And what about Tommy Lee?
