Uri Gellar buys Elvis Presleys’ old house.

I heard on the radio this morning about Uri Gellar buying Elvis Presleys' house not named Graceland. I found the whole story online at The New York Post, because our local Commercial Appeal didn't have the story yet.

"Psychic" Uri Geller and two partners have bought the Tennessee house Elvis Presley lived in before moving to Graceland, with a winning bid of $905,100 on eBay, he said yesterday.

Presley bought the four-bedroom, two-bath house at 1034 Audubon Drive in Memphis in 1956 with a down payment of $500. He lived there for 13 months before moving to Graceland, the now-famous Memphis estate where he died in 1977.

If you're registered on eBay you can check out the completed listing.

In 1956, a 21-year-old Elvis Presley would rise to international stardom. During this time, Elvis lived at 1034 Audubon Drive, Memphis, TN..

The original period mirror in Elvis' first and front bedroom remains where Elvis would have checked his appearance in his stunning Nudie Gold Lame suit or his hair before leaving past adoring fans en-route to numerous appearances in Tupelo, New York and Hollywood.

I hate to betray my youth, but if you ask most people under 30 about "The guy that bends spoons", they'll think you're referring to the Matrix movies. Here's a brief review of the scene for some of you:

Neo (Our hero) is left in a room with a group of children, who appear to be adepts doing impossible things. One young boy… is making spoons bend through telekenesis…Neo has a little more difficulty grasping exactly how to do it. So the boy explains with perhaps the most important line of the movie, "There is no spoon."

I think old Uri needs to do a little David Blaine action and get himself back on television. Even when Blaine fails, he gets tons of publicity. If Uri wants to get in the news he has to drop a million bucks on a house that used to belong to Elvis.
