Thailand all shook up over Elvis
BANGKOK - Strobe lights flashed as solid beats and wild sounds permeated the atmosphere. With the boisterous crowd turning ballistic, it was hard to ignore this ongoing celebration. A typical screen shot of the Thai capital's exuberant nightlife? No, not quite.
This month, hundreds gathered at the grand ballroom of central Bangkok's Asia Hotel to commemorate the death of a king. It has been 30 years since Elvis Aaron Presley, the "King of Rock 'n' Roll", ended his glorious reign when he collapsed and died of a drug-induced heart attack in his Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tennessee. Before his death on August 16, 1977, the music prodigy had successfully sent the world into a trance by producing evergreen hits such as "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock".
Thank you, thank-you-very-much," Elvis might have told Thailand. Yes, Elvis has left the planet, but 30 years later he's still virtually everywhere.
