Elvis Is Still Alive?
Elvis is still?

For many years there has been many doubts, and controversy about the death of probably the biggest figure of the 20th century, “The King of Rock N’ Roll”, Elvis Aaron Presley. Many people believe that he still alive and for a lot of reasons in which cannot be blamed for believing so. Elvis Presley is alive and the facts will prove it. After Elvis Presley “died” on August 16, 1977, there have been numerous alleged sightings of him. Fans have noted alleged discrepancies in the death certificate, reports of a wax dummy in his original coffin and numerous accounts of Presley planning a diversion so he could retire in peace. “The King” was just 19 years old when he began his career working with Sam Phillips, owner of the legendary Sun Records. Elvis’ first single, “Heartbreak Hotel”, released in January of 1956 and was a number-one hit. Presley quickly became the face of the newly popular sound of rock and roll for many appearances in the network television and successful music records. His gifted voice wasn’t the only thing that made him successful; his unique style of performing was very electrifying and charismatic, that you couldn’t just sit down and watch him perform. By November 1956, he debuted his acting career starring in the movie “Love Me Tender”. In March 24, 1958, Elvis enlisted into the U.S Army and served for two years and earned the rank of Sergeant. After returning to the United States, Elvis continued his acting career along with his music career and was still on top. On May 1, 1967, Elvis Presley married Priscilla Beaulieu after being together for more than seven years and they had a child on February 1,1968 names Lisa Marie; Presley’s only child. On that same year, “The King” became very unhappy and frustrated with his career; his movies weren’t being a success like he when started back in the ‘60s and his singles were not even reaching the top 40 in the charts. Something needed to change and thus came the famous 68’ Comeback

    Tupac, or 2Pac was an African-American rapper who had sold more than 75 million records worldwide, and was considered a hip-hop legend throughout his career. He was born on June 13th, 1971 and died a very tragic death on September 13th, 1996 . His death caused much sparkness to occur as of who it was that killed him, not of how he died. A lot of factors played in during his death, and considering the complexity of the murder, it was hard to tell if the death had been staged, or if it was all an act. Although, considering the circumstances, rivalries, and suspicions it can be concluded that Tupac Shakur was killed by the Crips gang, and that he isn’t alive in spite of the rumor that states that Tupac is still alive, or that his boss Suge Knight killed him.…

    What inspired his love for music was his faith in God and the gospel songs he heard in church. However, it was not until 1954 that Presley released his first single under the record label owner, Sam Phillips. The single “That’s All Right” as well as his first Number 1 single,—under RCA Records—“Heartbreak Hotel” jumpstarted his career and bought his name into the attention of the public. His unique music styles and one of a kind dance moves were what ultimately set him apart from other musicians of his time, and it was with these characteristics that Presley built not only a music career, but a film career as well. Some of his films—which were sometimes huge hits—include “Love Me Tender,” “Blue Hawaii,” and “Viva Las Vegas.” It was not just fame and wealth that Presley was introduced to though. In the years that followed, it was noted that he faced an exceptional amount of personal obstacles. These included the divorce to wife Priscilla Beaulieu, custody battle over their daughter Lisa Marie, as well as a drug addiction and weight problem. This drug addiction eventually led to Elvis Presley’s death on August 16, 1977.…

    The funeral was on Tuesday. Only eighty-nine people showed up. A chunk of those people were his family, including his mom, dad and seven brother and sisters. I don't understand why no one came, I mean, he was well liked, or so I thought. I saw some guy in the back in a Guardian jacket. I couldn't help but think that he was only there to make sure Andy was really dead. The service itself was done beautifully. There was no mention of the Royals, or why he was murdered. I'd guess that's because it'd be too hard for his parents to hear straight out of his dangerous ways. They had no idea what he was involved in. He…

    On January 30, I watched the TED Talk of Boyd Varty, environmental and literacy activist. He explains Africa is a place where people, animals and ecosystems teach us about a more interconnected world. Specifically, he claimed that not only humans possess humanity, but animals also possess this trait. Varty introduces the idea of ubuntu which means “ I am because of you. Or, people are not people without other people.” As he said, “Now although the root word is about people, I thought that maybe ubuntu was only about people” but that was subject to change after he met Elvis and her herd. Although some people believe that Elvis with deformed legs and pelvis would of die in a matter of days, Varty insisted “for the next five years she returned in the winter months.” He stated “a consensus developed between all of us who were guiding people in that area that herd was in fact moving slower to accommodate that elephant” to support the claim of animals possessing humanity. In addition, he says “and it is not only through other people that we get to experience our humanity but through all the creatures that live on this planet.” In sum, his view is that…

He was the one who served as an eye-opener for the Filipinos; he revealed the fraudulent conduct by the Marcos Administration.
