Fifty-five-year-old sandy cox of hernando, Miss., stands silently with her young nieces and nephews over the grave adorned with plastic roses, a "Love Me Tender" votive candle and a headstone that reads ELVIS AARON PRESLEY. Cox figures she's made the pilgrimage to Graceland "at least 200 times" ("I just like being where he was, walking on his turf," she says). But this is a first for the kids, who are visiting from Ft. Worth, Texas. Standing dutifully next to their gray-haired aunt in the Elvis T shirts she's given them, they look as if they've just been dragged through a tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Weren't they impressed with Elvis's green-shag-carpeted Jungle Room, his clamshell-shape furry bed, his white studded "American Eagle" jumpsuit? "I guess it was kinda cool," is all 8-year-old Chance Brown can muster. OK, but what about all those gold records? "I like Nelly and Eminem," says his sister Cassi, 15. "I never listen to Elvis."
