Elvis, Michael, and Other Celebrity Saints
By David Gibson - Politics DailyThe King -- that would be Elvis Presley -- turns 75 today. Or he would if he were still alive. Which he may well be, if the sightings and supermarket tabloids are to be believed. For everyone else who accepts that Elvis is gone but still doesn't want him forgotten, there is the ancient consolation of religious devotion to the dearly departed -- though in the modern guise of celebrity canonization that seems more intense and widespread every year. For evidence of this phenomenon look no further than the massive public outpouring after last June's untimely death of the "King of Pop," Michael ...
10-4, Rubber Ducky! 'Convoy' Writer Still Truckin'
By David Moye - AOL News(Dec. 18) -- Back in 1976, when CB radios were the coolest thing out there, Chip Davis gave truckers and keep-on-truckin' hipsters an anthem. But don't call the co-writer of the novelty hit "Convoy" a one-hit wonder. Davis, now 62, is the creative force behind Mannheim Steamroller, and he just may be the most successful recording artist you've never heard of, having sold nearly 40 million CDs, including some of the most original takes on Yuletide favorites. Sound Trak, Inc. Chip Davis is a trailblazer in New Age Music. Now, as Davis promotes "Christmas: 25th Anniversary Collection," a ...
Obama Should Acknowledge Michael Jackson at BET Awards
By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics DailyMr. President, tune out the haughty chieftains of Oval Office etiquette. Ignore those who say the Leader of the Free World should not dignify "a TMZ moment" by honoring Michael Jackson. The polite decision by the White House to send a message to the Jackson family bears a coolness that does not address a public grief. That can't be your intention. An admirer of Stevie Wonder like you can't ignore Michael; they swam and danced in the same artistic stream. I urge you, Mr. President. Acknowledge Michael's death tonight on the BET Awards. Call in on Skype. BET will gladly take your call. They have ...
Notable Moments in FanHouse Commenting: Patriot Haters, Aliens, Elvis and Bigfoot
By Stephanie Stradley - AOL NewsAt FanHouse, one man's trash is another man's treasure. But only the few raise to the level of Notable Moments in FanHouse Commenting.Ex-Patriots employee Matt Walsh has finally agreed to spill everything he knows to the NFL about Spygate, and eventually we will know the scoop. In the months since Walsh's name first emerged, there's been tons of speculation about what he knows. Is Walsh going to drop the hammer on the Patriots or is this just ridiculously overblown?And though all thoughtful comments at FanHouse are appreciated, I feel that this comment from Bob deserves special recognition. It ...
Elvis and Earnhardt: Viva La Graceland
By tallglassofmilk - AOL NewsDale Earnhardt Jr. wasn't even three-years-old when Elvis died in 1977, but that hardly prevented him from becoming a fan: "My grandmother used to watch me when I was little, and she always listened to Elvis, so I grew up an Elvis fan."Of course he's an Elvis fan. Being a fan of The King is a requirement for rednecks, you know. This year, Elvis Presley Enterprises has tapped the most popular redneck to help them kick off The 30th Anniversary Elvis Week:"Elvis had a true appreciation for fine automobiles and a love of racing, so it is truly exciting to count someone like Dale Jr. as one of his ...
