Why Elvis is a great American | Robyn Curnow

When Robyn Curnow moved to America she didn't take her family to Washington, or New York or Disney. Instead, they went on a pilgrimage to Graceland. The home of the King of Rock 'n Roll. Elvis Presley is a rare thing in America. Most Americans would agree that his legacy and his music are the best of the USA. Robyn Curnow reflects on why she made a trip to Graceland. It wasn't just Elvis and his music she was paying homage too, it was also the journey to Graceland that the Paul Simon sings about in his Grammy-award winning album Graceland. In complicated times, she is Searching for the America - and Americans - that bring people together. http://www.searchingforamericapod.com http://www.x.com/robyncurnow http://www.instagram.com/robyncurnow http://www.instagram.com/searchingforamericapod   Got a great idea for an episode?
