“Elvis Presley – Desert Storm: The Shattering Of A Myth! College Park: The Revelation Of A Hoax!” is dedicated to Elvis and Priscilla’s only child, Lisa Marie (LMP).
They have a granddaughter – Danielle Riley Keough, born 29th May 1989; a grandson – Benjamin Storm Keough, born 21st October 1992; and two granddaughters born on 7th October 2008 – Harper Vivienne Ann and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood.
When you read disrespectful, degrading comments about Elvis’ private life keep in mind there are people who get hurt.
He wasn’t some ancient, historical figure that lived centuries ago, but a human being who has loved ones with feelings.
How would you like to be subjected to watching your father or grandfather’s name be trashed right before your eyes?
You’d be mad as hell and fighting mad, right?
So for a moment step outside the pervasive tendency of self-absorption and imagine your deceased loved one being “run down” on the Internet by people who otherwise profess to love him.
How would you like it?
How do you think Riley and Benjamin feel when their grandfather’s own fans trumpet malicious and unfounded drug rumors?
The lack of compassion for EP’s memory is without equal in the history of popular culture and it’s time those of us that care, fight.
Fight to expose and shatter the fictitious “drug addict” narrative.
If we don’t, who will?

Education and Ability Program].
Lisa Marie and fellow Memphian/soul legend Isaac Hayes founded LEAP in October 1997 to make available free learning materials and methods for children and adults of all ages who would like to improve their lot in life.
While looking at the images of Lisa opening her heart and checkbook to those in need in Memphis, do you wonder what Elvis would have thought about his little girl and how she has grown up?
Proud is the first word that comes to my mind.
LMP cut the ribbon and officially opened Presley Place in July 2001.
What could be a more fitting tribute to a humanitarian like Elvis Presley than for his daughter and the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation to support such a noble effort?
“Presley Place is providing children and families the opportunity to grow both mentally and socially,” said Margaret Craddock, MIFA Executive Director.
“Without the support of the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation and the thousands of devoted fans that contribute to the cause, we could not provide this valuable service for the homeless in Elvis’ hometown.”

I have had the pleasure of seeing Lisa Marie live in concert three times and she rocked the house!
