Do you know anybody that has famously failed before? Well I do. His name is Elvis Presley. You may be wondering how he failed. Well, at his first performance a manager told Elvis he wasn’t going anywhere and might as well go back to driving his truck. Today I am going to tell you about him joining the army, his commercial breakout, and him going back on tour. Presley was sworn into the army at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, on March 24, 1958. His arrival was a huge media major event. Hundreds of people descended on Presley e as he stepped down from the bus and photographers accompanied him into the fort. On March 12, 1956, Elvis met a 14 year old named Priscilla. On January 10, 1956, Presley made his first recordings for RCA in Nashville.
Walt Disney once said, “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible,” and I guess he was right. Disney made films that made a wooden puppet into a real boy, a thief into a handsome, and a beast into a man. Disney created dreams for little kids of becoming royalty, but was that all they had in mind? Although Disney films may seem full of happy thoughts with true love’s kiss, but in reality they are just bibidi bodibi booed with a dash of pixie dust to hide the real truth behind the films.

When hip-hop groups such as The Migos are tied with The Beatles for the most songs on the Billboard hot 100, and Post Malone is the artist that has had the most songs in the top 20 at one time, even surpassing The Beatles. Even with these statistics, the majority of people, especially adults would likely say that there is no one better than The Beatles. This begs the question, do Billboard, and other organizations that handle the records and statistics of the music industry even matter if people will make a claim that The Beatles are irrefutably the best of all time. One might argue that this will only be said until there is someone better than The Beatles, but how will this be the case if we keep going at our current pace of claiming that

I didn’t know Marilyn for long, but I was with her long enough to know she was an amazing person. She was a nice girl for the short amount of time I got to know her. There aren’t many nice people these days, people always have somewhere to be or something to do. They don’t have time to talk, but not Marilyn. She will not be remembered by her death, but her life and joy she gave to others. In order to see her brother, Marilyn snuck and board my ship and was willing to risk paying a fee. Courageously, Marilyn sacrificed herself so I could get supplies to people in need. If not, those six people could have died. Marilyn accepted her fate at the end and knew it had to happen. She didn’t tell me much of her accomplishments, but she told me she had
