If you visit The King’s home of Graceland today, just across the road from the mansion is a huge exhibit complex called Elvis Presley’s Memphis. Inside the spacious halls is a display called ICONS: The Influence of Elvis Presley, which features artefacts owned by actors and musicians who have said they were impacted by The King. Of course, just like millions of other teenagers in the late 1950s, The Beatles were huge fans of Elvis and attribute his influence to their success.
I hope I find the right words for this post because words were what Randy Alexander was all about, along with a deep love for the New Jersey and Philadelphia entertainment scene and the people in it. Randy Alexander passed away Sunday, Dec. 27 after a four month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 62.
I first met Randy back in the 80 s when he was a TV/Radio reporter for the Trenton Times. He was so good at his job that His coverage of Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the U.S.A. tour was included in the 1996 biography “Glory Days,” written by Dave Marsh, according to his bio.
