Dusty Elvis

I have several Elvi…and an Elvis story

Here goes.

So for 46 or 47 years I’ve been telling bb that I saw Elvis in concert in Toronto. That I was in the real cheap seats, 3 rows past the nosebleeds and that he looked like, well like this…

…oh wait, that’s way to big, maybe about the size of his shoe, wait maybe about the size of half his shoe.

But I was sitting so his back only faced me.

And the lady behind me screamed all the way through the concert and her screams contained spit, lots of spittle.

So to have this be truth in advertising I wanted to give you the correct date for the concert so I looked it up…April 2nd 1957.

Wait, what…I drove to the concert which would have been quite a feat since on that day I was all of 5 years old.

hmm.

So thanks to the internet and it’s amazing amount of facts of which I take 20% to be accurate I discovered that all these years it wasn’t Elvis I saw in Toronto but…

…Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis…

…right there a perfect example of the evils of three 17 year olds and a case of Molson’s & Labatt’s beer.

One other little side note that happened when we had left the event and were in the parking lot, just a little thing…

…as one of us, not me, but the young lady with us, was peeing behind the car another performer came up and started playing.

John Lennon & Ono.

Yep.

Didn’t see Elvis or 1/4 of The Beatles either.
