In this day and age the crash would not have been an accident. Elvis was 'a local talent' (and I'm a local but this guy was no slouch back in the day.

Always thought that ole Elvis would have been happier just being a truck driver down there in Tupelo or wherever he was from. I don't think fame or fortune made him happy.
In truth, I've always thought of him as a genuinely humble guy. He revered him mom, hated racism, wanted everyone associated with him to be on an equal footing socially, and, of course, adored his wife. But all of his inner turmoil found an outlet when he was on stage. And what a great performer he was!
"Lost" the KING?
Not really - he'll be in our hearts forever!
I could be wrong, but, I'm thinkin there may be very few who care, that you couldn't care less. Just a thought for future consideration.
I remember the day Elvis died. I would'a been 'bout 7 or 8 yrs old &
was over at a buddies house shooting pool. His mother was crying
hysterically upstairs over this, and I just didn't get it. I still don't.

Is it 35 or 37 years?
No, he was lost years before he died. Going to Vegas and becoming a bit of a hermit in Graceland did that.
I feel very weird agreeing with you on anything.
Kind of par for the chorus when it comes to rock stars both back then and now.
Cared enough to remember the moment.

He was a pill junkie an abusive jerk and a bloated azzhole.

I was sharing a waterbed with 2 bisexual women in a trailer court up on Tranquile Road-Those Were The Days!
And instead of giving them your full attention you listened to stuff about Elvis.
That's right (doesn't seem possible) and I can remember the time of day, exacly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news.
