After the first post Is Elvis still alive?, I got quite a few responses and someone sent me his story about Elvis being still alive I found it interesting and I want to share it with my readers so read the story and tell me your views

I was a Branson performer back in 1992.
President Clinton was in town as well as Elvis former band members, such as James Burton, Ronnie Tutt etc. I was out in the parking lot of where I used to perform, when out of the corner of my right eye, I saw a shiny rental white Cadillac, with “Illinois” tags. I noticed one man get out from the left back passenger side door, and another man get out from the right back side door. Next thing I noticed was a man around 6? to 6?1 inches tall, medium weight, gray hair, long sideburns, and tinted glasses, get out of the vehicle. We stared at each other for what seemed an eternity, but in reality was right around 20 to 30 seconds, we just both froze! Here is where this really gets interesting! He stretched for a while, got back in the Cadillac, and drove off towards the Grand Palace, (where Elvis former band members were playing that night). Next thing that happened was a lady who just happened to stop and talk to me for minute. The lady? Louise Burton, (James Burton’s wife). We talked for a while, and during the conversation, she asked me what I was doing outside at the time. I said I was in between shows at the time, and that I was a performer. She said who she was, and asked if I would like to meet her husband, and Ronnie Tutt (Lead drummer for John Denver). I said I’d love to, I’d already met John Wilkinson, (Elvis former lead guitarist) and many other singers too that had performed for “E”. What is the point in all this? I spoke to Author Gail Brewer Giorgio, (Wrote the “Elvis Files”) just a few months earlier. Gail had told me that “E”, was currently going by the name of Jon Burrows, and that he had been reported as living in CHICAGO ILLINOIS! So, you take all these coincidences – President Clinton, Elvis former band members etc. And I believe it’s real simple, that was Jon Burrows – AKA Elvis Aron Presley, that I saw across the street, getting out of that rental white Cadillac, and driving over to the Grande Palace!

True story!

Bob Dylan used his music in the 1960’s to convey social messages and to protest against the Vietnam war and other social upheavals.

A few of his songs, more notably, “The Times They Are a-Changin’” and “Blowin’ in the Wind” became the soundtrack for many civil right movements that took place. It is mainly his lyrics that take centre stage rather than the accompanying music. His influences can be heard heavily in his lyrics, particularly his literary, political, philosophical and social influences.

Bob Dylan is still touring the world and thrilling huge audiences. One of his latest albums called Modern Times is massive hit and has won the acclaimed title of Album of the Year by Rolling Stone magazine.

Dylan uses a guitar, harmonica and a piano to wow his audiences with his sound. His sound is not only unique, but so is his attitude. From his protesting days in the 60’s to his subtle political messages now, Dylan has always wanted to be able to express himself and his views freely.

Dylan is still touring now and his tours have been penned as the never-ending tour. Some people believe that as his vocals are not as strong as they used to be, he should stop touring. However, many of his fans and the fact that the tour sells out night after night, would clearly disagree with the critics.
