He would be 75 years old, and today, many fans are driving to Memphis to visit Graceland i believe. I thought i read that somewhere.
I think the exact words were "legions of fans"
That is something else to bring people together even years after he has passed away. He touched many hearts during his career.
I read a story about him in this book i saw at a waiting office, it was called "Weird Wisconsin" (the title of the book)
It referenced a time when this young man was leaving from work, he actually went to the same high school i did, and these muggers were going to mug him, and Evlis was driving by, this was slightly before he died, he had a concert in Madison, and he told the driver to stop, and jumped out in his sequence outfit and helped defend the guy that was being robbed or beat up at the time.
I imagine there is a story for every state, every place he ever visited. That touched someones life. Like that movie Hounddog that Dakota Fanning was in, but that is kind of a depressing movie.
