    No argument from me about Elton...there''s no bigger fan than me, I have everything(bootlegs,imports,45­rpm's,etc.) that's out there, but my point was that this is Elvis' show(although co-produced with Sir Elton) and he always sings with his guests. I understand people wanting to hear Elton alone...I think his voice is richer than ever,btw. I'm just a huge fan of both EJ and EC and was thrilled to see them both together, from a selfish point of view...and you can tell they both enjoyed it.

    I had never heard this song until this. I had heard of David Ackles but never listened to his music. This is just brilliant. I

    Yes. "Up river" is a slang phrase for being sent to prison. Rosie has a new lover now and he wishes her well.

    You're right...about everything. Don't forget American Gothic, too.
