Elvis - Heartbreak Hotel Postcard

Continuing Elvis' 80th Birthday 2/3 Month...

"Heartbreak Hotel" released January 27, 1956. Interesting back story about Elvis and the song.

In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine named it one of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Also in 2004, it was included in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll".

Standin' On A Corner In Winslow, Arizona

I had the chance to stop in Winslow, Arizona, recently. Amongst all the great postcards I grabbed during my visit, this card featured the "standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona" scene described in the popular 1972 song "Take It Easy" by the Eagles.

The town of Winslow actually did create a "corner" to memorialize the song.

It was cool to see a steady trickle of tourists stopping by and snapping pictures of the "corner".

Winslow, Arizona, is located along historic Route 66, which makes it even more enticing for sightseers to stop by for a visit.
