I’ve got a t-shirt from years ago with the title of today’s blog entry on it. For those of you born after 1980… After Elvis died in 1977, and for years afterward, there was a near constant stream of Elvis sightings. He was retired and living in Bolivia. He was Goofy at Disneyworld. After plastic surgery, he became George Wendt and played Norm on Cheers. Etc.
My favorite (that I made up) is that he became an Elvis impersonator. I’ve got a a movie pitch about Elvis still alive, hits hard times and has to impersonate himself to make ends meet (©2010 Michael Fry). It opens on a corporate event. An Elvis impersonator (Elvis) takes the stage. Someone in the audience says, “He’s pretty good, but he’s no Elvis.”
LOL! My husband had a similar (if not the very same) shirt years ago. It was one of his favorites but has disappeared over the course of time. I never saw the shirt because it came and went before we were married in 2006. I would love to get him a replacement, but I don’t know what it looked like. I hate to impose, but by any chance would you be able/willing to post (or email me) a picture of that shirt! I can’t find anything online that seems to fit, but I would be willing to have one custom-made! It’s great to find your strip online. The Detroit papers have no taste!
I don’t think I have it anymore either. But I’ll check.

Thank you for taking the time to check! I truly appreciate the response; anything beyond that is gravy. Thank you! Thank you!
We actually still have the shirt. I can email you a pic
