I lost my virginity to Grant Connelly," a slender brunette declared wistfully, twirling a lock of hair ... "What? Am I the only one?"
"Nope." A different brunette, this one in a push-up bra, raised her hand. "Not the virginity part, but, well, you know."
Two others raised their hands slowly, looking at each other.
"Spring break?" one asked.
"New Year's Eve," the other answered, and then they collapsed into coed-caliber giggles and hugged each other like pageant queens. No shit. Delaney had stumbled into a Grant Connelly sexual conquest recover group. ~ Tracy Brogan
Elvis quotes by Tracy Brogan
I saw an Elvis Presley movie Jailhouse Rock, where he gets out of jail and makes his own records and takes them to the radio stations himself. And then, he puts records in the store. After seeing that, I made records an put them in stores. ~ Bobby Vinton
Elvis quotes by Bobby Vinton
Be ye innocent as doves yet wise as serphants new testament quoted by Elvis Presley and applied to karate ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
I met Elvis first in Las Vegas. I think I was appearing with Tom Jones and he came backstage to say hello to Tom or we went to his dressing room to say hello. ~ Norm Crosby
Elvis quotes by Norm Crosby
Another Elvis will not come along. He got wasted, but it's alright. ~ David Byrne
Elvis quotes by David Byrne
Oh I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
The only possibility in the United States for a humane society would be a revolution with Elvis Presley as leader. ~ Phil Ochs
Elvis quotes by Phil Ochs
A perfect ride. I fell a bit behind on the slow pace, but everything's good. It's real good. Yes, he ran the race we wanted him to run. ~ Elvis Trujillo
Elvis quotes by Elvis Trujillo
Rock and roll is a music, and why should a music contribute to ... juvenile delinquency? If people are going to be juvenile delinquents, they're going to be delinquents if they hear ... Mother Goose rhymes. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
It doesn't matter is you call it 'Obama-care' or 'Elvis Presley care' or 'I-don't-care care.' It cannot sustain itself in its present form. ~ Alan K. Simpson
Elvis quotes by Alan K. Simpson
When I first came into this world, Elvis was already fat. ~ Jane Wagner
Elvis quotes by Jane Wagner
His body walks out onto the darkened stage , and a roar goes up from the crowd. He stands in front of the mic, and he can feel his face twist in a sneer-the Elvis sneer from his dreams-though he never told it to move. He is powerless now, a spectator at his own moment of glory. ~ Joseph Garraty
Elvis quotes by Joseph Garraty
We'll just play it cool, like Elvis at 19. ~ Pat Benatar
Elvis quotes by Pat Benatar
Those days she was just a beautiful girl, now she's framed and hung up. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
Writing a book is a long and difficult process for me. I'm a slow writer, so I spend the year with Elvis Cole and Joe Pike in my head. I was thinking about this the other day. I wrote the first book in 1987. Literally every day since that time, Elvis and Joe have been in my head. They're always there. I started these guys because I like them. ~ Robert Crais
Elvis quotes by Robert Crais
I love Johnny Cash, and I respect Johnny Cash. He's the biggest. He's like an Elvis in this business, but no, he's never been the rebel. ~ Waylon Jennings
Elvis quotes by Waylon Jennings
A person who believes that Elvis is still alive is very unlikely to get promoted to a position of great power and responsibility in our society. Neither will a person who believes that the holocaust was a hoax. But people who believe equally irrational things about God and the bible are now running our country. This is genuinely terrifying. ~ Sam Harris
Elvis quotes by Sam Harris
I don't do any vulgar movements. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
You've got a chemistry class; I want a piece of your mind;
You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine ... ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I was like Elvis "The Pelvis" Presley on Ed Sullivan, I tells ya, punished for the crime of being sexy. (him on the telly , me in a dingy alley ... any analogy will break down under scrutiny.) ~ Russell Brand
Elvis quotes by Russell Brand
Living a very long time would be a very scary thing. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
When people nowadays say that Elvis was the first white guy to sound black, I have to shake my head; what can you do? At the time of 'That's My Desire' 1947 they were saying that I was the only white guy around who sounded black. ~ Frankie Laine
Elvis quotes by Frankie Laine
Nobody knows I'm Elvis, nobody knows this is me. After all of my tries, I've got the perfect disguise. ~ Waylon Jennings
Elvis quotes by Waylon Jennings
I love singing some Johnny Cash, which is interesting because it's in a guy's key; I love singing Elvis Presley. ~ Samantha Barks
Elvis quotes by Samantha Barks
Elvis Presley was the sweetest, most humble and nicest man you'd want to know. ~ Muhammad Ali
Elvis quotes by Muhammad Ali
On the other side, I do think there's a melding in there. There are situations
I've done contracts for Carlos Gonzalez, or just recently I did one for Elvis Andrus
to where there is a melding of the club's wants and the player's wants where you do things in advance of free agency. ~ Scott Boras
Elvis quotes by Scott Boras
As for music, my tastes are eclectic. Elvis Costello is my all-time favorite. I listen to a lot of jazz, primarily the great female vocalists, and I am very fond of the late cabaret singer Nancy Lamott. ~ Laura Lippman
Elvis quotes by Laura Lippman
During the Cold War of the 1950s, American spies were issued eyeglasses with thick, clunky frames. If captured, they were trained to casually chew the curved earpieces, where fatal doses of cyanide were cast inside the plastic. It's these same horn-rimmed suicide glasses, the wrangler says, that inspired the look of Buddy Holly and Elvis Costello. All those young hipsters wearing death on their nose. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Elvis quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
[Elvis] Presley was definitely a great inspiration to every guy who ever had a hard-on in the whole of the Western world, I should think. He shook everybody well and true, and we just kept on shakin'. But he started it. ~ Robert Plant
Elvis quotes by Robert Plant
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
and you were the only one who'd talk.
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,
when you know it's the way that you walk. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
There's no telling from poem to poem where this brilliant 'conversation' about maleness and gender will lead
there are poems about husbands and wives, parents and children, Elvis, Apollo, Walt Whitman, rhythms of its politics. Manthology is a remarkably honest and enormously heartening collection. ~ Nancy Eimers
Elvis quotes by Nancy Eimers
There's no room to Rhumba in a sports car. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
Any audience, as a rule, goes for a fast number. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
My fans want my shirt. They can have my shirt. They put it on my back. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
In public, I like real conservative clothes, something that's not too flashy. But onstage, I like 'em as flashy as you can get 'em. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
I have no use for bodyguards, but I have very specific use for two highly trained certified public accountants. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
Well there's a line that you must toe and it'll soon be time to go but it's darker than you know in those Complicated Shadows ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I realise now... the less you know, the more likely you are to kill yourself by accident. And the more you know, the more likely you are to kill yourself on purpose. ~ Elvis Simpson
Elvis quotes by Elvis Simpson
The first thing I think of when I think about coming to Las Vegas and playing is always Elvis; its always the first thing on my mind. ~ Brandi Carlile
Elvis quotes by Brandi Carlile
This is Graceland. Home of the most famous musician in the world."
"Michael Jackson lived here?"
"No, dummy," Carter said. "Elvis Presley. ~ Rick Riordan
Elvis quotes by Rick Riordan
I've never written a song in my life. It's all a big hoax. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
There are five things to write songs about: I'm leaving you. You're leaving me. I want you. You don't want me. I believe in something. Five subjects, and 12 notes. For all that, we musicians do pretty well. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I was obsessed with Elvis Presley when I was little. ~ Gina Gershon
Elvis quotes by Gina Gershon
As a person, he was wonderful. He really was a great person. He was full of life. He had a great sense of humor. Very talented, of course, but very caring to his parents. There was a very endearing quality about Elvis. ~ Priscilla Presley
Elvis quotes by Priscilla Presley
Most performers reinvent themselves. Madonna, Michael Jackson, P. Diddy. They reinvent themselves into different kinds of images. Elvis [Presley] was always himself, an original, and he never tried to be anything but that. ~ Pat Boone
Elvis quotes by Pat Boone
I hope I didn't bore you too much with my life story. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
Sharing money is what gives it its value. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
That little Miley Cyrus ... she's like a little Elvis. The kids love her because she's Hannah Montana, but what people don't realize about her is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she's 40 years old! ~ Dolly Parton
Elvis quotes by Dolly Parton
When I was in high school in the '50s you were supposed to be an Elvis Presley, a James Dean, a Marlon Brando or a Kingston Trio type in a button-down shirt headed for the fraternities at Stanford or Cal. ~ Robert Hass
Elvis quotes by Robert Hass
George Klein says that Elvis had five real friends outside of his circle, and I was blessed to be one of them. I spent a lot of time with Elvis in Vegas and at Graceland. ~ Bill Medley
Elvis quotes by Bill Medley
Listen to the inner voice that allows you to be you! ~ Elvis Stojko
Elvis quotes by Elvis Stojko
I had Elvis' number in my book and I never called it. ~ Mac Davis
Elvis quotes by Mac Davis
I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget. ~ George Strait
Elvis quotes by George Strait
When I was twelve, the biggest name in Rock and Roll was Elvis Presley. I bought an EP, "King Creole". I hid it in the basement, but my mother found it. ~ Klaus Nomi
Elvis quotes by Klaus Nomi
Oh, I know that she's disgusted,
cause she's feeling so abused.
She gets tired of the lust,
but it's so hard to refuse. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
Oh, I think country has changed tremendously. I think country has totally changed. Country music when I was a kid was Hank Williams. If you put Hank and Elvis together, there wasn't that musical difference. But as the Beatles showed up and the English invasion, I think country music got pretty far away from rock n' roll. ~ John Mellencamp
Elvis quotes by John Mellencamp
The only person that anybody's ever said I resemble is a young Elvis. It used to happen a lot more when I was younger, and more when I don't wear a hat. ~ Jason Aldean
Elvis quotes by Jason Aldean
Smokey Robinson writes the heartfelt songs, whereas it was my job to write the songs about weakness and failure in love. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I guess I thought I was Elvis Presley but I'll tell ya something. All Elvis did was stand on a stage and play a guitar. He never fell off on that pavement at no 80 mph. ~ Evel Knievel
Elvis quotes by Evel Knievel
When Elvis sang, it almost sounded like he was whispering. But after you heard the record, his voice was the strongest thing you ever heard. He was incredible. ~ Donald Dunn
Elvis quotes by Donald Dunn
If there hadn't been an Elvis, there wouldn't have been the Beatles. ~ John Lennon
Elvis quotes by John Lennon
I never liked the whole thing about pictures with the artists. You look back at an Elvis Presley record, and you don't see any producer credits, because the audience is not supposed to know about the producer credit. ~ Chris Blackwell
Elvis quotes by Chris Blackwell
My mom took my sister and me to see Elvis [Presley] in concert when was, maybe 5 or 6, and I liked everything about it. ~ Billy Gibbons
Elvis quotes by Billy Gibbons
Do you realize that I have had five albums in the Top 30. Elvis and The Beatles have never done that. I had five singles in the Top 5, I mean, no one's ever done that. ~ Chubby Checker
Elvis quotes by Chubby Checker
Rocket Fever Grips Nation's Teenagers' cheers on enthusiastic newsreel, reflecting the nation's sudden reversal in attitude following the successful launch of Explorer-I into Earth orbit. Rather than being strange and threatening, outer space looks set to become the next big distraction after Elvis Presley and Davy Crockett hats. 'More and more teenagers are passing up rock and roll for a rocket role,' commentator Michael Fitzmaurice blithely remarks before very probably wishing he hadn't. ~ Ken Hollings
Elvis quotes by Ken Hollings
Presley brought an excitement to singing, in part because rock and roll was greeted as his invention, but for other reasons not so widely reflected on: Elvis Presley had the most beautiful singing voice of any human being on earth. ~ William F. Buckley, Jr.
Elvis quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.
All I know is that skating is getting better, the guys are getting better throughout the whole age range. ~ Elvis Stojko
Elvis quotes by Elvis Stojko
The stuff I write I'm very proud of, but I'm smart enough to know I'll never get on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' next to Elvis Costello. ~ Dan Hill
Elvis quotes by Dan Hill
Johnny Cash had all of the same talents and problems as Elvis - a poor upbringing in the rural South exposure to gospel music throughout his childhood a penchant for drug abuse ... they had the same sort of influencing experiences but Johnny' Cash's problematic relationship was with his father not his mother. If he had had the mommy issues that Elvis had instead of a compelling need to prove himself to his father, he wouldn't have been the badass man in black, the guy in Folsom Prison watching the train roll by. Elvis was a lot of things but even with the karate and the gunplay he was more unstable than badass. ~ Molly Harper
Elvis quotes by Molly Harper
The parallels between Elvis and Michael Jackson as incredible artists is evident. But I think that where Michael Jackson even transcends Elvis Presley. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Elvis quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
There's no job too immense, when you got confidence. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
There are plenty of people who believe that Elvis is alive, or that aliens occasionally land here to do highly personal things to people, or that the whole idea of evolution is a conspiracy of godless scientists. Almost all of these people can vote and some of them have got guns. ~ Terry Pratchett
Elvis quotes by Terry Pratchett
Here you found a homeless guy wearing a decade's patina of grime and sweat, in for trying to beat up a dumpster (and losing); a street performer coated from head to toe in metallic spray paint, caught trying to fondle a nine-year old; two Elvis impersonators of the pudgy era, apprehended in the midst of a fistfight over who was the real deal (tidbit: one of them was); and a gaggle of drunks in a holding cell, all in varying stages of undress - one of whom wore only a traffic pylon on his head. ~ Daniel Younger
Elvis quotes by Daniel Younger
I just got into it like a lot of people through the rock 'n' roll bands in the late '60s that turned to country music, like The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield, but particularly through The Byrds because of Gram Parsons, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman (with their 1968 album Sweetheart of the Rodeo). They kind of introduced English kids to Merle Haggard and George Jones and the Louvins (brothers Charlie and Ira). ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
My philosophy of life is simple: I need someone to love, something to wait and do something. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
Elvis transcends his talent to the point of dispensing with it altogether. ~ Greil Marcus
Elvis quotes by Greil Marcus
The way you look I understand how you were not impressed, but I heard you let that little friend of mine take off your party dress. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
One reason Elvis mattered, she said, was that in his prime, pop music had still been politically innocent, therefore deeply life-affirming, therefore relevant. By the time he died, most pop songs had become, usually without the conscious intention of those who wrote and sang them, anthems endorsing the values of fascism, which remains the case to this day. ~ Dean Koontz
Elvis quotes by Dean Koontz
Music should be something that makes you gotta move, inside or outside. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
I was very keen on people like Elvis, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent. ~ Robin Trower
Elvis quotes by Robin Trower
If you bring a friend into your love affair, that's the end of your sweetheart that's the end of your friend, that's when your heartache begins. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
I was raised on Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly and discovered the Stray Cats when I was 11 or 12 years old. ~ Drake Bell
Elvis quotes by Drake Bell
When I was a kid, I used to look in the mirror and pretend I was Elvis. ~ Donald Dunn
Elvis quotes by Donald Dunn
Free Falling
She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Blvd
All the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while
And I'm free, I'm free fallin ~ Tom Petty
Elvis quotes by Tom Petty
Technically, the last number of years, partially from the injury, it's been difficult to push forward but I felt even before the injury that I still could do more and was sort of at a stalemate. ~ Elvis Stojko
Elvis quotes by Elvis Stojko
It was very nerve-wracking for me. I had to be drunk and have a threesome. I'm not that guy. Bobby Cannavale is that guy. But it was Vegas and things got crazy, and it happened. We go to Vegas to try to sign Elvis Presley and things get crazy. My character [in Vinyl] is stoned. ~ Ray Romano
Elvis quotes by Ray Romano
Just a whole different style, just a whole different way of going about an audience and a way about skating. And they are so brilliant in their own way, which is great, and that's what Brian was saying; is the styles are different, and it's the whole mentality. ~ Elvis Stojko
Elvis quotes by Elvis Stojko
I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis. ~ Boris Johnson
Elvis quotes by Boris Johnson
Elvis and I continued to be friends, and I saw him once or twice a year. But he was a troubled person. ~ Ursula Andress
Elvis quotes by Ursula Andress
'Content' is a word that has never sat well with me. Like 'maturity'. They are two words I've never liked. I think they imply some sort of decay. A settling. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I found with this record I had to really be strong-willed, because in the past I've tended to tinker and add a thing or take a thing away, and nearly always been wrong. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
People are quite shocked when you remind them that Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra never wrote a song that they recorded in their lives, as far as I know. ~ Robert Wyatt
Elvis quotes by Robert Wyatt
Never wait for tomorrow, what if tomorrow never comes? ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
You do have to be a bit careful with your voice. It is an instrument. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
I was recognized as being an artist and a storyteller. If Hulk Hogan was the Elvis of wrestling, I was the Robert De Niro. ~ Bret Hart
Elvis quotes by Bret Hart
Your kisses lift me higher ... like the sweet song of a choir. You light my morning sky, with burning love. ~ Elvis Presley
Elvis quotes by Elvis Presley
I can write orchestrations, but I can't sight-read music and play at the same time. I don't have enough facility. ~ Elvis Costello
Elvis quotes by Elvis Costello
What strikes me as funny about Elvis is that all the impersonators choose to do the Vegas Elvis, not the young, cool guy ... ~ Bill Hicks
Elvis quotes by Bill Hicks
She had finally learned the significance of the ending of the Mayan calendar: Elvis and Liberace were clearly coming back from the dead. ~ Marianne G. Petrino
Elvis quotes by Marianne G. Petrino
