Conspiracy Theory

I thought the title of this post would appeal to my mate 'Beany' who is one of the world's authorities on conspiracy theories. I hear that he is on personal terms with Michael Moore. One of the world's most prominent conspiracy theories is the fact that Elvis lives. Sightings are frequent and there are many websites that post them, even the official Elvis Presley website encourages people to send in photos, although to be honest these sightings are specific to images of Elvis rather than a living breathing Elvis. Take a look when you get a chance and you too can see Elvis shopping at KMart, lining up at airport terminals and so on ad infinitum. This now brings me to the 2nd line of the first verse 'It is Elvis incarnate, as I look towards the skies' This continues the story of the narrator's incredulity at seeing someone that is Elvis personnified. It also implies a spiritual experience. Incarnate is defined within the Oxford Dictionary as a spirit 'Embodied in human form'. If you have your guitar handy, you can play the first 2 lines at a tempo of 154, 8 bars each. The chords are A, A, A7, A7, G, G, D, D. I will post the entire song at the end of this particular blog. The next blog moves from the spiritual to the idiosyncratic which will suit the freudians amongst you.
