The day he died I was building a line-control (couldn't afford RC) PT-22 in the carport workspace at the apartments my parents and I lived in LA. It was raining, rare for LA. I thought it was a joke when I heard the news on the radio.

I was on Holiday in Spain with a group of friends. I remember it because the girl I was knobbing at the time got really depressed at the news, so I dumped her and got stuck into a fat old lump from Scotland.

OH GOOD GOD!!

At least you didn't have to roll her in flour and aim for the wetspot. God bless her!

Well I was only in my early 20's and it was a dreaded 18-30's holiday. At least I never did the tooth brush picture trick which was rife in those days.

have to say Elvis was never one of my favs
