The Laughing Elvis

Oldies guru Ron Smith checked in with me today to remind me that it's St. Elvis Day, and on this particular St. Elvis day, with Eckhartz Press' "The Balding Handbook" soaring on the charts, maybe it's time to bring out the infamous Laughing Elvis song.

What made Elvis laugh in this live version of "Are you lonesome tonight"? It was the line..."Do you gaze at your bald head and wish that you had hair?" A bald man pulled off his toupee just as Elvis said that.
