Kerri: I Remember Day Elvis Died

On Facebook, Kerri Thoreson writes: “I know exactly where I was 33 years ago today … sitting by the pool at the Portland apartment complex we managed while my little girls splashed. Couldn’t believe the news on the radio, Elvis was dead at age 42.” I was more of a Rolling Stones/Beatles/Animals fan than an Elvis Presley fan. But I remember watching the famous “Ed Sullivan Show” — my family always watched it together back in the day — in which producers filmed Elvis from the waist up to keep those gyrating hips from public view. I remember the day that Janis Joplin died better than the day Elvis did. How about you?

Question: Do you remember what you were doing when Elvis died?
