Today marks the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley. It strikes me
watching footage of people standing on line at Graceland that Elvis' career has
now spanned a longer stretch since he has been dead than it did when he was
alive. I wonder if it's possible for an individual to become as famous and iconic
as that in this day and age? How famous? When your
full name
on the Wikipedia is disambiguated because of other things named for you, but
your entry can be found under your
first name, you're pretty darned famous. To commemorate, maybe I'll have a
fried peanut butter & banana sandwich, though I think I'll skip the Percocets.
