Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite

was a concert starring Elvis Presley that took place at the Honolulu International Center* and was broadcast live via satellite to audiences in Asia and Oceania on January 14, 1973. The show was presented with a delay in Europe. In the United States, to avoid a programming conflict with Super Bowl VII and Elvis on Tour which was playing in cinemas at the time, NBC opted to air a ninety-minute television special on the concert airing on April 4.

Drinking With Young Elvis in Waikiki

How Times Have Changed:

"Chad Gates [Elvis]:

You know what you need? 

A good old-fashioned spanking.

Ellie Corbett:

M-Maybe I do. Nobody ever cared enough 

about me. Even for that.

Chad Gates:

Alright, Eleanor. I better prove that somebody 

does care. [He pulls her over his lap]

Ellie Corbett:

You wouldn't dare.

Chad Gates:

Oh wouldn't I dare? Wouldn't I? [He spanks her, and Ellie begins to cry out] I got a feeling that this is gonna make both of us an awful lot better."

Elvis Birthday

click on photos to enlarge!


“It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely."
- Albert Einstein



Today we celebrate the birthday of cultural icon Elvis. He loved Hawaii, made movies here, and he raised much of the funding for the moving Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.






Some claim that the king never died; they say he is living here in the Isles unnoticed. Perhaps he has lunch with Ann Margaret who is known to visit regularly. Time has changed her to the point where she can stand outside her hotel in Waikiki and not be recognized. Local guy Barack Obama, on the other side of the curve, can no longer stroll Waikiki anonymously as he did growing up. Alive or immortal, Elvis is seen every night from Waikiki when the lights of Saint Louis Heights come on. There, many of us see the likeness of the king in the lights on the side of the dark mountain. One particular row of street lights makes for a dandy guitar strap. The film Blue Hawaii appeared in 1962. Watching it this morning on TCM I was struck by all the changes in Waikiki and our island in the past 47 years. . .
Aloha, Cloudia
