To ALL my followers and those who are animal advocates, "America’s wild horses are fighting for their lives -... https://t.co/Uv5wAwxr76 — Priscilla Presley (@Cilla_Presley) July 7, 2017 Protect America's horses from mass killing  America's beloved horses are facing multiple threats of slaughter and your U.S. Representative urgently needs to hear from you. Over the past 20 years, the Bureau of Land Management’s failure to properly manage the Wild Horse and Burro Program has led the agency to focus solely on round-up and removal as a primary management strategy for wild horse and burro populations on America’s western rangelands. As a result, the agency now finds itself holding more than 45,000 wild horses and burros in holding facilities. This is the direct result of poor decisions made by government officials, and now the government wants to kill them to save money. To make matters worse, a government spending bill would allow taxpayer dollars to fund slau...

Garth Brooks closed his concert run in Lafayette, La., on Saturday (July 1) with a concert that one 89-year-old fan will surely never forget. Mid-show, Brooks noticed an older woman holding up sign that read: “Elvis was my last concert.” The woman was of course referring to Elvis Presley, who died nearly 40 years ago. So, Brooks made a point to meet and introduce himself to the longtime music fan during his fifth and final night at Cajundome. As he walked off the stage and approached the woman, who was seated in the stands, Brooks told her, “I would be happy to play any song that you would like.” Guitar in hand, he started to strum the instrument and sing “If Tomorrow Never Comes.” Taken aback by his attention, the woman teared up. Brooks noticed and begged her not to cry, saying, “Oh god, don’t start crying!” He quickly grabbed the phone of a fan seated beside the elderly woman in order to take a selfie, and when he was done with the song, he gave her his guitar!

Elvis fans will recognize Gabe from interviewing Elvis Presley. But for those of us in the NYC area, Gabe was part of our daily life. He was a journalist and today we don't have many of those. Gabe Pressman was someone I grew up watching, a name I trusted, and a person I respected. I last saw him cover the St. Patrick's Day Parade. He is a NY staple, a gem, a true journalist we will never see again. GODSPEED. Pressman died at Mount Sinai Hospital Manhattan on June 23, 2017, aged 93.

LAS VEGAS - Friends and family of a well-known Elvis tribute artist are hoping detectives will finally be able to close a double homicide case from 1993 . So far, the murders of Dana Mackay and Mary Huffman haven't produced any arrests. The homicides of Mackay, an Elvis performer, and Huffman, a former beauty queen, made national headlines as police explored several possible motives for what looked like a professional hit. MacKay looked like Elvis, sang like Elvis and was widely regarded as the best Elvi of his era. He was the first Elvis tribute artist hired by the long-running "Legends in Concert" show on the Strip, and often took his act on the road, even to other countries. He also played Elvis at age 35 in the film, This Is Elvis. Have a tip? Contact 702-828-3521 Homicide@lvmpd.com
