There is a huge statue of King Kamehameha in downtown Honolulu. I caught the bus nearby this morning. In keeping with the bilingual nature of Honolulu, the "Keep off the Grass" signs are in English and Japanese.
Just last week, I passed by the other King statue in Honolulu.
Elvis is closer to the ground -- it would take a crane to get leis around Kamehameha's neck.
The plaques note that "Aloha from Hawaii" was the world's first satellite concert January 14, 1973. That concert was the first time I was interested in Elvis -- he was old school when I was growing up. I was far more interested in the Beatles. The statue sure recalls his white star-studded suit!
