Advantages: Lots of information

Disadvantages: None

Elvis Presley was one of the world's greatest performers, and he died 25 years ago this year. There are hundreds of websites out there on the internet devoted to the man, his music, his films, food that he liked, and just about anything you could ever want to know (and some things you definitely wouldn't) about The King Of Rock 'N' Roll.

The official website (www.elvis.com) is filled with information about The King - both his life and his posthumous career. Ranging from biographical information, chart statistics, information about Graceland (Elvis' famous home), recordings, to information about Elvis - The Concert (yes indeed there is still a touring Elvis concert which uses concert footage of The King) and Elvis Presley Enterprises (the corporate side) and even including free web-based e-mail (yes you could be someone@elvis.com) there is a large variety of content.

In some respects it is a shame that Elvis has become such a commercial enterprise in death and has made so much money for his heirs when he was virtually bankrupt when he died. But then that commerciality is keeping the image and the music alive today. The website is respectful towards the man (which is not surprise, it IS the official website, and there are many other websites out there which are a lot less respectful), and the best area of the side is definately the part that promotes ELVIS WEEK - those few days in August which celebrate the life and music of the man in Memphis.
