Today, 8/16/09, is the 32nd anniversary of the untimely death of the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis. Here is a blog I did two years ago on the 30th anniversary of his death:

"I was in my room reading something, I don't remember what, with the radio in thebackground, set on an all news station. Then the Mutual news came on and the announcer went right to it: "Elvis Presley-is dead!" At first it didn't seem to resonate, but then he repeated: "Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll, is dead at the age of 42." That woke me up. I ran out of my room, radio in hand,and found my mom and told her the news, and then the announcer repeated it: "Again, repeating the hour's top story: Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll, is dead at the age of 42." Someone, my sister I think, was watching TV, probably a soap opera, when the network broke in with the bulletin. It was a dark day all across the nation, and to some extent around the world. 42 is too young, and 30 years is too long. We still miss you, Elvis."

That was also my very first blog on TV.com, so today is my 2nd blogging anniversary.

Woolsey got questions 1 and 2 right on my Rod Serling quiz, and there were no other guesses. Here are the answers:

1. He co-wrote the screenplay for what hit 1960s Sci Fi movie?

b. Planet of the Apes

2. Who was his first choice to host The Twilight Zone, before taking the job himself?

c. Richard Egan

3. He was the creator of what short-lived 60s TV Western, and, as a bonus, who starred in it?

d. The Loner, starring Lloyd Bridges

This is a good time for a short Elvis quiz:

1. What was his last movie (not counting concert documentaries and such)?

2. What movie remake was he considered for before being dropped because of demands made by his eccentric manager, Colonel Tom Parker?

3. What was his last #1 song, his only since the "British Invasion" began?

If these are too hard, check back in a few days and I'll add some multiple choices. Otherwise, add your guesses below or in a PM.
