Many fans were watching the candlelight service on livestream. And from the start, it became a bizarre event! First, Priscilla Presley referred to it as Elvis' birthday . OK, one time I get it, we are all getting older, tiredness etc. But she referred to this as his birthday many times to the point, I thought she was going to have the crowd sing Happy Birthday Elvis. I kid you not! Seriously! So bizarre!  But she did look great as always. All kidding aside, I get it. We all have been there during a big Elvis Week, you're so tired, you don't make sense! Priscilla, get some rest! You're scaring me!  Next, we get Tom Brown Live from the green screen of the "front lawn" , great to see Tom, ok but that's where we stayed for most of the night . Tom talking and talking and talking about the wonderful new movie, Elvis. Yes, it's wonderful but tonight was not about sales pitches or the wonderful movie. The candlelight service was created BY FANS FOR FANS...
