Goa is all shook up with Elvis
Thu, April 21 2005
The Elvis Presley craze is making a comeback in Goa, a popular tourist destination in western India. The American singer may have died in 1977 but his popularity lives on as a barrage of Elvis clones try to out-perform each other. He is possibly the most impersonated rock'n'roll celebrity. Although it's nearly three decades since he passed away, the spirit of Elvis Presley lives on in the many performers who make great efforts to dress and sing like him.In India's popular tourist resort of Goa, that seems to be the newest attraction for holidaymakers. At restaurants and nightclubs, a motley mix of chubby and middle-aged Elvis Presley look-alikes belt out hits from the 1950s and 60s.
