The Ameripolitan Music Awards , a grassroots movement, has created this online petition to let the Country Music Association know that Jerry Lee Lewis has one of the most loyal fan bases of any country artist in history, and together we have the opportunity to influence the nominating committee and voting members of the CMA.

As an Elvis fan, this song came to mind this weekend with all Lisa Marie is going through. FOOL! We are WITH YOU LISA! Be strong! Fool, you didn't have to hurt her Fool, you didn't have to lose her Fool, you only had to love her But now her love is gone Fool, you could have made her want you Fool, you could have made her love you Fool, you only had to love her But now her love is gone Gone now the love and laughter See yourself the morning after Can't you see her eyes are misty As she said goodbye Fool, you didn't have to hurt her Fool, you didn't have to lose her Fool, you only had to love her But now your love is gone Fool, you only had to love her But now love is gone Fool, you could have made her want you Fool, you could have made her love you Fool, you only had to love her But now her love is gone Fool, you didn't have to hurt her Fool, you didn't have to lose her Fool, you only had to love her FOOL, FOOL, FOOL! We love you, Lisa!

EPE announced pricing for the NEW Elvis Presley's Memphis complex. "With the opening of “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” (EPM), Graceland’s new, 200,000-square-foot entertainment and museum complex on March 2, 2017, a ticket for “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” (either with the Mansion tour or by itself) will enable visitors to explore everything that EPM has to offer, including a new Elvis Presley career museum, a new Automobile Museum, plus themed exhibits, gift shops and restaurants. Just as the exhibit spaces at Graceland Plaza required a ticket in the past, this new facility will do the same, however tickets will be scanned at a turnstile entry point which will then give visitors free roam of the facility to explore all of its themed spaces. You may come and go from the complex as many times as you wish on the day of your tour." If you do not purchase a ticket that includes EPM, you will still be able to access the following: Vernon’s Smokehouse restaurant Ice c...

  The reviews among Elvis fans are mixed for Sun Records , the new drama on CMT which premiered last night. Most LOVE it , Some don't like it at all, and others want to give it a chance. Myself, I LIKE it . Last night was an introduction to all the characters . I think the writers and producers did a fine job summing up all that early history in less than an hour! I loved how they summed up Colonel Parker. It was PERFECT! I also liked the inclusion of Eddy Arnold. See, it's THOSE DETAILS that make the difference! Very Cool!  Details like this take time and KNOWLEDGE! And that is something most TV shows and movies don't have! Hats off to the writers! Very much appreciated, well at least by me! I love when the Colonel tells the boy he can cover the Bob Wills posters, "Cause Bob is a friend of mine and he said it would be okay." And then when Colonel goes in and sells the record store a hundred records and even gets the guy to pay the p...

Lockwood visited with the girls at the beach yesterday. Those of you who are 40ish and went to Catholic school like myself will know who Buster Brown is!  We wore Buster Brown shoes with our uniforms!  Similar look! Why can't he show up looking Dadish?  Why the hat and collar up and the red fox hanging from his belt? Attention seeker?  Who called the paparazzi?  Same people who sell one sided awful stories to certain web sites?  DCFS monitor was present, same one that was with Priscilla the other day. I decided NOT to show the Dailymail's video or pics with the girls. Look, this is their Dad and they love him no matter what. My heart just went out to them during this difficult time. I didn't want to expose them anymore than they already are. Note in the photos above, he STILL has his wedding ring on . And also note, he still acts like he is a rock star standing there with his coffee and allowing the woman to lug a...
