The incredible Inflatable Elvis

[M Cosmo]

Holy Elvis.  (not retouched)

Well I missed the Kodak moment.  Although this wasn't bad.  When I went by yesterday Elvis was bent backwards at the knees.  So that photo would have been named the Incredible pelvis of Inflatable Elvis.  But alas when I went back to take the photo Elvis was completed deflated.  I guess that famous stage move of his of bending backward and snapping up was too much for the dead legend. (we know he LIVES). You may think that those are tie downs but I know that Elvis is Jacked In. 

So what the heck is going on.  Well I live in Inverness Fl. Where the most notable thing to happen was that Elvis filmed a court scene in our fully restored now Historic Court house. "Follow that Dream" 1961.  This is his 50th anniversary and the town is have a whoop to do.  

Here is the poster going around.

I can't wait.   No really.   Think about it. The King is not Dead. He lives in our musical hearts. 

I shot a few more pics.  Here is Whole Lotta Elvis at 30 feet or so high.  As Led Zeppelin said.

 

And last Elvis the Man As I like to think of him as.
