Which of the following statement(s) about Elvis Presley would you agree with?
Here's a fun survey for those of you who like Elvis. Simply choose any of the following statements about Elvis you agree with.
I made up most of these statements on my own, but I threw in a few that were made by other people--which I enclosed in quotes along with the person who said it. The ones I made up are the ones not in quotes.
