Get Over It Already

So says Lorraine over on the Mousetrap. She's referring to the onslaught of media attention paid to Elvis' 25th death anniversay. ... "was a pretty good singer, but he died a fat, drug-addicted hillbilly of his own excesses. Well, to each their own of what constitutes their ideal "hero". It's just beyond my comprehension."
I was talking about him to someone this week recalling how I never did "get" Elvis when I was young. Of course, I was small, but after 1962 and the Beatles' "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", there was no turning back for me. And Elvis was just some big ol' redneck in my hippie girl frame of mind.
