Guy I worked with swears he met Elvis in 1991 in the Tuskegee National forest. Said he had a tent and was sitting by a camp fire.

Said he would not look him in the eye.

I’m sure he was but you just don’t think during that time that a megastar was going to die at 42. I knew he put on a lot of weight but hey ya just never know.

He was also a fan of James Bond movies. He a had cell phone plated with gold inside of a briefcase. Saw phone numbers was with his handwriting. Badass.

Graceland tours....highly recommend.

Mostly in his gut. The last several months of his life he hardly took a shite.

He didn't, the whole thing was a hoax. And I mean all of it. Elvis never existed.

Of course he wouldn’t. Looking a man in the eye makes things awkward when it’s just two guys alone in the woods.

The woman who cut my hair for years used to discuss theories as to why Elvis was still alive. She liked playing devil's advocate, so I don't think she believed any of them, but she'd start some compelling arguments with people in the salon.

I suppose if anyone had the means to fake his own death because fame, fortune, and health had caught up to him, it would've been the King.

The girl in the crowd that got run over and died at the gates of Graceland was a very close high school classmate.
Sad times..

I was in North Little Rock watching HBO. They interrupted fricking HBO to announce it. That's how big a deal it was.

My parents used to know someone who was convinced Elvis faked his death because he wanted out of the spotlight. The theory was he wanted to retire and not be bothered.
