From memory as a child I watch the funeral precession of Elvis Presley along with millions of others all of whom meant absolutely nothing to me, watched as he slowly disappeared in the distance. In that big black car
To this day Elvis is and represents all of what I would consider to be a decent human being, and from that I believe has played a considerable over aching authority toward the values I hold.
I'm unable to pinpoint such a time where I first heard Elvis's rendition or parts of Hank Williams - Men With Broken Hearts, but has always made me stop and listen, simply due to the song, the person, the tune etc etc. And jn that I have never given it another thought until today.
I'm going to embarrass myself right here, to the fact I had never taken the time to listen to the original by Mr Williams. Man what a great bunch of words with so much meaning not of definition but of, what I image to be empathy on a normal every day going about business, but in going about it considering this, or that or have you really understood the situation that others among you may be battling in silents.
I feel that straight away without ponder I understood these mens story's in such a way as to not be without emotion of or considering myself and of those around me blessed to have what we have and to live a life in such a way to show our appreciation for the privilege of having one.
All of these great humans that I have had to be apart of, simply by there existence coincided with mine, all have taught me well thank you.
Lastly today is the first time I've thought of all those other people watching on that day, and everyone, some more then others, how they came to their individual acceptance of such a loss, I know there are some that to this day are still devastated of the event, but in their own way find the strength if I may use such a word, keep moving on. I find that bond of emotional attachment just so overwhelming that an individual has the influence of such an emotional binding warmth on a strangers life that even by his death unable to curve the devotion one has for another.
' Thank you, thank you your a beautiful audience '
