The King

Post by iskander_32 »

Hi Folks.Throughout history and events,, I always maintain that a certain type of persons star shines out far than others. I feel Alexanders shone and still shines very bright.Through history I have looke for persona whos star I feel shines as bright.Some may call me a total idiot as the guy I will compare to Alexand4er was nothing like Alexander infact I would say he was very week.I have looke at the Star of Elvis Presley and wonder in trhe same way ifd there was ever a person that came along as Elvis did and made a worldwide impresion,,, I believe Elvis conquered the whole world,,, He charmed a generation and throughout the whole of history its a time when if some one were to mention the king,, people would think of Presley.I also know Elvis presley stands for ridicule;;; Dependency on prescription drugs,, total need for his mother eating.But bottom line Presleys influence can be measured with Alexander and indeed Presley brought a hell of a lot of joy to people,,, Ive always thought..Combine Presleys looks popularity and charisma with Alexanders genius and strength here we would have a man to take the world.Just a thought guys.

Hi Kenny,Nice idea. Being a big Elvis fan as well as a huge Alexander fan, I can certainly appreciate the idea.Actually, I reckon that Alexander would have fitted in very well in Vegas, especially once he started adopting Persian dress and ritual. You can imagine an Alexandrine feast at one of the big casinos, with showgirls etc. Maybe that's what Baz Luhrman had in mind for his movie All the bestMarcus
