I failed at embedding the link in the word "source" :/
[info]bogie_bacall 11th-Aug-2007 10:07 pm (UTC)
after source you just need to put "</a>" (no quotation marks). And take out the second url.
[info]dutchietoo 11th-Aug-2007 10:22 pm (UTC)
I changed it. what's wrong now plz? thnx
[info]sweet_tiff4prez 11th-Aug-2007 10:26 pm (UTC)
lol I dont know what you are doing but...

you are just putting the url between the " ". do not erase the " "

erase (text to be displayed) and just put source there. do not erase any other the other coding.
[info]sweet_tiff4prez 11th-Aug-2007 10:26 pm (UTC)

[info]sweet_tiff4prez 11th-Aug-2007 10:28 pm (UTC)

interesting thing i found out about elvis a while back - his natural hair color was blonde.
[info]nottiffanylee 11th-Aug-2007 10:06 pm (UTC)
actually, it was light brown. but he dyed his hair, eyelashes, and eye brows black. dying his eye lashes is what caused his eyes to get infected.

~elvis freak~
[info]f3d0ra_girl 11th-Aug-2007 10:10 pm (UTC)
ah, okay. i saw a photo and the caption said "a blonder elvis, yadda yadda"

my parents are elvis freaks as well. my dad said he will not die as he wishes since he never met him.

[info]nottiffanylee 11th-Aug-2007 10:24 pm (UTC)
haha awh. i'm like that with ~must~ go to graceland.
[info]karimonica 11th-Aug-2007 11:51 pm (UTC)
its actually pretty dissapointing. you have access to see about 4 rooms, and the house is really small and tacky. plus its like 50 bucks!
[info]wish_the_worst 12th-Aug-2007 09:15 pm (UTC)
I went recently and I really enjoyed it. And it's not $50.
[info]radname 11th-Aug-2007 10:15 pm (UTC)
he actually got glucoma from dying his eyelashes.
i am also an elvis freak. i was just showing my aunt all the elvis stuff i bought lol
[info]nottiffanylee 11th-Aug-2007 10:23 pm (UTC)
haha yes. that's what i meant to say. i bought this ridiculously huge book that has all this crazy information in it.
[info]radname 11th-Aug-2007 10:31 pm (UTC)
Is it called The King? I just bought that book a few days ago at chapters for 29.99
[info]nottiffanylee 11th-Aug-2007 10:45 pm (UTC)
Yeah! But I got mine for 75. It's this gigantic black book with blue sequins on the front that spell out, "The King."

I got mine from Borders.

I find that memorabilia like this a little creepy.
[info]bogie_bacall 11th-Aug-2007 10:05 pm (UTC)
Really? I think auctioning off personal items seems a bit creepy. But this is just an instrument belonging to one of the most well-known singers in American history. Sort of makes sense to me that people would want it.
[info]kryptongirl 11th-Aug-2007 10:06 pm (UTC)
Can't they just leave it at Graceland? Some things are just cooler when left for the public to see, not in some rich guys house. :(
[info]miao0726 11th-Aug-2007 10:07 pm (UTC)
thank lisa marie for selling off her father. but hey i am sure the church of scientology appreciated that 20 mill or whatever nominal amt it was.
[info]kryptongirl 11th-Aug-2007 10:09 pm (UTC)
I just don't get it, no amount of money would make me sell some of that shit.
[info]miao0726 11th-Aug-2007 11:00 pm (UTC)
she didnt just sell the items. she sold her FATHER. she sold licensing rights, name usage, image likeness, most of her stake in graceland.
[info]suicidekitty911 12th-Aug-2007 06:22 am (UTC)
agreed. my mother wasn't even anyone famous and you'd have to kill me first before i would ever sell something she loved so much.
[info]miao0726 11th-Aug-2007 10:06 pm (UTC)
i saw this on ebay a few days ago. its a nice piece for sure, it will prob end up in a hard rock or something of the like.
[info]ectypes 11th-Aug-2007 10:20 pm (UTC)
it belongs in a museum or something
[info]radname 11th-Aug-2007 10:17 pm (UTC)
i want this :(
i am a huge elvis freak and if i was rich i would own that Humes High graduation photo!
[info]ectypes 11th-Aug-2007 10:18 pm (UTC)
somebody buy it for me
[info]ectypes 11th-Aug-2007 10:19 pm (UTC)
wait can i buy the bench seperately for a more reasonable price
[info]tina448 11th-Aug-2007 10:22 pm (UTC)
i think the bench is what is expensive......his ass was on that don't forget
[info]ectypes 11th-Aug-2007 11:46 pm (UTC)

[info]old_fart_1 11th-Aug-2007 10:23 pm (UTC)

"THAT PIANO BELONGS TO ELVIS PRESLEY!"
"ELVIS PRESLEY IS DEAD, AND HIS DAUGHTER IS A MONEY WHORE!"
"THEN IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!"
"DOCTOR JONES, SIT DOWN!"
[info]musiclover011 11th-Aug-2007 11:30 pm (UTC)
OMG I HAVE A PIANO JUST LIKE THAT SRSLY.
[info]woah_fierce 12th-Aug-2007 12:30 am (UTC)

[info]witch_hunt 12th-Aug-2007 12:55 am (UTC)

[info]woah_fierce 12th-Aug-2007 01:54 am (UTC)
o nvm halcyontempest said it was a rumor http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/presley1.asp
[info]halcyontempest 12th-Aug-2007 01:14 am (UTC)
Are you referring to the alleged "The only thing Negroes can do for me is shine my shoes and buy my records" comment? Never happened. It was just a stupid rumor.
[info]wish_the_worst 12th-Aug-2007 09:18 pm (UTC)
he wasn't! he was kinda sexist though.
[info]merffin 12th-Aug-2007 02:06 am (UTC)
i wonder what it will sell for
[info]loveling 12th-Aug-2007 02:18 am (UTC)
I love old pics like that. I wish I could go back in time. :/
[info]tooshy18 12th-Aug-2007 10:40 am (UTC)
I wonder if he farted on that piano stool.
[info]greenxgoblin 13th-Aug-2007 06:41 am (UTC)
