   (Wall Street Journal) - As Elvis Week wound down Sunday night,   
   nearly 20,000 fans held a candlelight vigil outside the gates of   
   Graceland. Yet the question hanging in the 100-degree heat was why   
   so many of these same fans continue to celebrate the life of a man   
   who died on Aug. 16, 33 years ago—before some of them were even   
   born.   
      
   From afar, it's easy to write off the 29th annual event as a   
   gathering of freaky Elvis Presley wannabes and silly like-minded   
   vacationers stuck in a polyester time warp. But after a multiday   
   visit, you quickly learn that both assumptions are unfair and   
   completely miss the point...
