Whilst trying to find some more connections between Elvis and MJ to post on the Facebook Page, I discovered that Michael's Holmby Hills mansion where he "died" is literally a few steps away from Elvis's last Beverly Hills home and where Lisa Marie grew up.

I don't know how big this area is and I'm sure that a lot of stars live or have lived in Holmby Hills, and it's probably not hoax related, but this is still another uncanny coincidence!

    "When will this mystery unfold?" from Cry. I don't believe in coincidences with MJ anymore. Why are their lives so interstwined?

    IDK maybe this, maybe not...

    34. Elvis believed that he was chosen by God for something special. He thought he had special powers like, hands-on-healing. (Michael believed he could heal people too) I think he may have had some special gifts other than his voice. Elvis was always studying about religion. (Michael studied religions as well) He didn't want to take any chances when it came to getting into the Kingdom of Heaven. One of his favorite books, which you will find on display at Graceland now, was The Passover Plot by Hugh Schonfield in 1966. The book is a story of how Jesus may have faked his death and came back 16 years later instead of being resurrected. Elvis may have faked his death and given up all worldly possessions in an effort to make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. Elvis once mentioned to a friend that he would like to become a Monk. After August 16, 1977, a man dressed as a Monk went into a popular entertainment club. Another customer reported that the face under the hood looked remarkably like Elvis Presley. As it turns out, the club was owned by a good friend of Elvis'.

    Archangel
    Archangel is a term meaning an angel of high rank. Archangels are found in a number of religious traditions, including Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Michael and Gabriel are the archangels named in the Bible as recognized by both Jews and many Christians. The book of Tobit mentions Raphael, who is also considered by some to be an archangel. Tobit is included in the Catholic Canon of the Bible, as well as in the Orthodox Septuagint; however, this book is considered apocryphal by others outside of those faiths. The archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael are venerated in the Roman Catholic Church with a feast on September 29, formerly March 24 for Gabriel. The named archangels in Islam are Gabriel, Michael, Raphael and Azrael. Other traditions have identified a group of Seven Archangels, the names of which vary, depending on the source. The fallen archangel Lucifer (also known as Satan) was an archangel until he rebelled against God and was cast out of Heaven by the other angels. The word archangel derives from the Greek archangelos.

    Daniel 8:15-17 (King James Version)

    15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

    16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

    17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

    Gabriel
    In Abrahamic religions, Gabriel is an archangel who serves as a messenger from God. He first appears in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, delivering explanations of Daniel's visions. Based on two passages in the Gospel of Luke, Gabriel foretold the births of both John the Baptist and Jesus. Christians of the catholic traditions refer to him as Saint Gabriel the Archangel. Islamic views state that Jibrail was the medium through whom God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, and that he sent a message to most prophets, if not all, revealing their obligations. He is called the chief of the four favored angels and the spirit of truth. He is called, by Muslims, the created Holy Spirit (Islam) that spoke to Muhammad, which is not to be confused with the Holy Spirit of God in Christianity who is revered as God Himself. Gabriel is also mentioned in Bahai Faith texts, specifically in Bahaullah's mystical work Seven Valleys. According to the Biblical verses which specifically refer to him, Gabriel is likened to a mortal male. He is usually portrayed as male, but sometimes also androgynous or female, as in some New Age beliefs or contemporary art imagery.

    When the Saints Go Marching In
    "When the Saints Go Marching In", often referred to as "The Saints", is an American gospel hymn that has taken on certain aspects of folk music. Though it originated as a spiritual, today people are more likely to hear it played by a jazz band. The song is apocalyptic, taking much of its imagery from the Book of Revelation, but excluding its more horrific depictions of the Last Judgment. The verses about the Sun and Moon refer to Solar and Lunar eclipses;¸the trumpet of the Archangel Gabriel is the way in which the Last Judgment is announced. As the hymn expresses the wish to go to Heaven, picturing the saints going in through the Pearly Gates.

    Frankie and Johnny (1966)
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060429/
    Frankie and Johnny is a 1966 musical starring Elvis Presley as a riverboat gambler. The role of "Frankie" was played by Donna Douglas.

    Plot
    Johnny and girlfriend Frankie are performers on a Mississippi River riverboat, which also has a casino. Johnny is a gambler who is down on his luck and in debt. Johnny and his friend Cully, a musician and composer, visit a gypsy camp to get his fortune told. A lady reads tea leaves and tells Johnny that he will soon meet a red-haired woman who will bring him luck. Back on the boat, Johnny and Cully promptly encounter Nellie Bly, their boss Clint Braden's on-again, off-again girlfriend. Nellie has just caught Braden seducing another singer, Mitzi. Since she has red hair, Nellie is persuaded by Johnny to touch his chips for luck. After he wins, Johnny is convinced that the gypsy must be correct. Frankie finds out and becomes jealous, as does Johnny's boss. In a bit of musical theatre, Frankie shoots Johnny for dancing with Nellie Bly while singing Cully's new song. A Broadway recruiter sees the riverboat show and buys the rights to this new song, suggesting that Frankie and Johnny should work together with him in New York. Landing in New Orleans, the musical cast and riverboat crew attend a masked ball. Frankie, Nellie and Mitzi each rent the same Madame Pompadour costume. Johnny is eager for the luck of redhead Nellie to win more money, contrary to Frankie's expressed wishes. Being masked and in costume, Frankie and Nellie scheme to switch places to test Johnny's lucky-redhead theory. Johnny wins ten thousand dollars at a roulette wheel, but when he kisses the woman he believes to be Nellie, he discovers the switch. Frankie is furious. She throws the winnings out the window. Blackie, a dim-witted stooge who works for the boss, hears Braden drunkenly complain about how he has lost Nellie. Thinking he can be of help, Blackie switches the blank cartridge in Frankie's stage gun for a real bullet. The boss tries to prevent the impending disaster, but arrives at the theater too late. Frankie has shot Johnny for real. Frankie forgives his gambling as the love of her life appears to be dying on stage. Johnny then stands up, apparently unhurt. Johnny was saved because the bullet struck a lucky medallion he was wearing that Frankie had given him.

    It is impossible to list every version of the song, but a common standard version runs:

    We are trav'ling in the footsteps
    Of those who've gone before,
    And we'll all be reunited,
    On a new and sunlit shore,

    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    And when the sun refuse to shine
    And when the sun refuse to shine
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the sun refuse to shine

    And when the moon turns red with blood
    And when the moon turns red with blood
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the moon turns red with blood

    Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
    Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the trumpet sounds its call

    Some say this world of trouble,
    Is the only one we need,
    But I'm waiting for that morning,
    When the new world is revealed.

    Oh When the new world is revealed
    Oh When the new world is revealed
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the new world is revealed

    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Oh, when the saints go marching in
    Lord, how I want to be in that number
    When the saints go marching in

    Times like this I feel overwhelmed with how little I know about other world religions, and specifically because of this thread title, how little I know about Elvis Presley's involvement in song, movies, and beliefs. Here's the Wiki page on his acting career. <!-- m -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_Pres ... ing_career<!-- m --> There certainly appears at first glance to be some people MJ has mentioned that he liked or was influenced by, such as Marlon Brando. But I guess it's just because it's mostly Hollywood. It pains me that on this MJ hoax site we have to say Move over, make some room for Elvis stuff too. But if it's truly MJ saying Move over, I guess we need to dig into Elvis. <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->

    wonder who now owns the presley home?


    I think Elvis sold it to Telly Savales in 1975. Now it is owned by a private individual.

    you mean nobody we would know or the information is confidential?

    I think it is meant that the present owner is an ordinary person, not a well-known celebrity.

    Speaking of former homes of Elvis, I came across this today. Apparently, Uri Geller bought Elvis's first Memphis home in May, 2006, then a few weeks later learned the sellers had turned around and sold it to someone else. Geller "had set a ceiling price of $1.11 million". <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

    Sorry, the links I posted earlier don't seem to be working. I think you will have to enter "Uri Geller" in the search bar when you go there, then it will access the pages. It's odd, because the links are copied right, as far as I can tell.
