Elvis Presley‘s Tcb logo is synonymous with the King of Rock and Roll. However, before it became intrinsically linked to everything Elvis, it began as a Priscilla Presley doodle.
Priscilla Presley shared the real story behind the Tcb logo on Instagram
Priscilla Presley shared a video filmed in Graceland’s TV room to Instagram, where she shared the real story behind Elvis Presley’s iconic Tcb logo. The original clip was filmed in 1984 and was part of a VHS documentary titled Elvis Presley’s Graceland with Priscilla Presley.
In the video’s caption, Priscilla shared the real story behind the design of the Tcb logo and how she was a part of its creation. It all started with a doodle.
She explained, “Elvis and I were on a flight leaving Calif and heading to Memphis [and their Graceland home]. Elvis was looking out the window then turned to me and said, ‘I want...

After a series of career disappointments, Elvis Presley made a massive comeback with a string of residencies in Las Vegas. Night after night, he played to adoring audiences. These shows revitalized him and made him feel excited about her career for the first time in years. When speaking to a reporter, Elvis said that he felt the concerts gave him a new life.
Elvis played a string of successful shows in Las Vegas
For years, Elvis had felt disaffected with his career. He hadn’t performed live in years and felt stuck acting in movies he hated. After a comeback special in 1968, though, his luck changed. In 1969, he played a show at the International Hotel in Las Vegas that turbocharged his career.
After proving that he could still perform like he had in the 1950s, the audience at the hotel exploded into applause. He even forgot the lyrics to four songs,...

Wilko Johnson, the guitarist with British blues-rock band Dr. Feelgood who had an unexpected career renaissance after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, has died. He was 75.
A statement posted Wednesday on Johnson’s official social media accounts on behalf of his family said the musician died Monday evening at his home in southeast England.
Born John Wilkinson in 1947, Johnson was raised on Canvey Island, a marshy, industrial oil town in England’s River Thames estuary. He studied Anglo-Saxon literature at Newcastle University and worked as a schoolteacher before forming Dr. Feelgood with other local friends.
At a time of flamboyant glam and indulgent prog rock, they played a then-unfashionable brand of blues and R&b, dressed in cheap suits that made them look, Johnson said later, like “shoddy bank robbers.”
Johnson helped give Dr. Feelgood a dangerous edge with his choppy, relentless guitar...

Kansas City, Mo. — Rhythm guitar player John Wilkinson, who performed with Elvis Presley more than a thousand times, has died at his home in southwest Missouri. He was 67.
Wilkinson passed away Friday at his home in Springfield after a fight with cancer, according to a family spokesman and the Gorman-Scharpf Funeral Home. Priscilla and Lisa Marie Presley offered their "deepest sympathy" to his family, saying in a statement that "John and the beautiful music he made with Elvis will live forever in our hearts."
Wilkinson first met Elvis Presley when he was 10 years old after sneaking into his dressing room before a show at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield. He amused Presley when he told him, "You can't play guitar worth a damn."
Family friend and spokesman Gary Ellison said a Springfield history museum recalled the pair's meeting in an exhibit that ran until about three weeks ago.

Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies
Stars: Bill Oberst Jr., Kent Igleheart, Rhianna Van Helton, Debra Crittenden, Chris Hlozek, Jason Vail, Ronald Ogden, Josh Sinyard | Written by Richard Schenkman, Karl T. Hirsch, J. Lauren Proctor | Directed by Richard Schenkman
Whilst it’s namesake Hollywood counterpart takes the battle to undead bloodsucking legions, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies sees Lincoln take on an all-together more daunting task… zombies. Opening with Lincoln as a child in the midst of the first zombie outbreak, an outbreak which took the life of his mother; the film follows the titular President as, in the middle of the American Civil War and prepping the Gettysburg address, he downs tools and heads behind confederate lines to battle the undead which have once again risen from their graves and whom have no qualms about chomping down on union or confederate, because as we all know zombies don’t discriminate!

Timeliness is one thing you can count on with the Asylum Entertainment. If there's a big event film hitting movie screens, they'll be one step ahead of the curve with their own version of the subject matter. This time around we learn that not only was Abraham Lincoln a vampire hunter, but he had another part-time job as a zombie killer.
"Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies" begins when the future leader of our country sees his mother die from an infection that turns her into a flesh-eating creature. He pushes the horrible ordeal behind him and goes on to become the President. Years later, he journeys behind enemy lines to find that "sick" soldiers are really the ravenous undead he encountered as a child. It's left to him to lead a band of famous historical figures in a mission to destroy the walking dead.
First off, I have to give props...
