Graceland Goes Orange
Graceland will 'Go Orange for Animals' on the evenings of April 1-5, in honor of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month. Landmarks around the US are lighting up in orange throughout April on behalf of the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) to commemorate Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, a nationwide celebration of the human-animal bond and the organization’s victories on behalf of animals.
“We’re deeply honored by the support of landmarks and sponsors that have decided to ‘go orange’ this year,” said ASPCA President & CEO Ed Sayres. “Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month is a time of reflection for both the ASPCA and the nation. This month reminds us of the successes we’ve had preventing animal cruelty and helping homeless pets find safe and loving homes.”
April Fool's Day fun in the Elvis world:
April fool's day is upon us and all over the web there are gags and japes going on relating to Elvis. One site is offering fans the chance to see colour film of Elvis performing the laughing version of 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' from 1969, to FTD about to release a new jam session where Elvis performs Chuck Berry songs for an hour. Another one sent in to us was that SONY and EPE are in talks to release Elvis' opening show from July 31st 1969. What a shame none of these tall tales are to come true.
