Well, evidently “The King of Rock”, Elvis Presley, is still #1 in the hearts of his fans worldwide!
According to Forbes magazine’s annual list, announced Monday, His Swivelness leads the list of dead celebrities who are still top-sellers. Now, Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) took the title from Presley last year after his record catalog was sold, but didn’t […]
Okay … let’s see a show of hands at how many of you have played/play the gambling sites online! Come on now … you can tell me!!
