You're being a little unfair here.

The people writing these captions weren't even born when the events took place.

You can't expect them to know how to spell names & get details right from that far back, can you ?

Even if they are paid to do just that !

Yeah, you could be right.
That EPE archive at Graceland and a quick Google fact check is perhaps a little too much to ask.... especially if you're in charge of the Elvis legacy.
Lol :-)
A little unfair my......A**!

As a footnote:
They've still not corrected the incorrect dates on two photos used in the gates of Graceland Million Dollar Qt video yet either.... and yes... they've been advised. ;-)

You don't have to use asterisks around here !

We don't mind the odd expletive !

BTW - I see some browsers are introducing software to automatically replace expletives with ****** !

The silliest example I've seen was:

'Bob & Dick Sherman'

Displaying as:

'Bob & **** Sherman" !

Daft, I call it !

I don't judge people, Colin; however, if someone wants to be thoughtful, I appreciate it, I was raised the old fashioned way.

Thank you, TonyS, it is appreciated.

I can't follow you.

Do you approve of the auto-censorship of peoples innocent names in order not to 'offend' other posters, or don't you ?

I don't expect you will be exempt from this censorship Colin.

Ha ha ha !

Crazy, isn't it ?

I see Emma Watson has been in the news this week, the papers have all reported about her showing her "t**ts" !

Who are they protecting ?

Who could be offended by the word "tits" ?

Don't tell me the youngsters because the lyrics they listen to in their songs these days are peppered with expletives !

Who could be offended by any words these days? You hear it on TV all the time.

From the Graceland auctions:
http://auction.graceland.com/1972_RCA_I ... t2147.aspx

1972 RCA In-House Gold Record Award for Elvis Presley’s Single “Burning Love” Awarded to Ernie Ruggieri
And they posted this 1977 photo and identified it as 1972.
