191:, per Zag. Although there had been, in 1987, a flurry of reports of people who claimed to have seen Elvis (including an AP report of someone who thought she saw him at a Burger King in Kalamazoo), this article barely mentions those. It would probably have been called "Elvis sightings in popular culture", except that savvy Wikipedians know better than to use those last three words in the title of an article. This is pretty much the generic ipc article, cataloging all known mentions on TV shows, comic strips, and songs, of an Elvis sighting.

I think Elvis sightings themselves, in their own right (not in Elvis') are a notable part of pop culture. Therefore
