No love for the King?
No wonder he left the building

Kira:
"Elvis is everywhere -- By the mid-'80s, the King was back -- as a kitschy pinata full of wacky, tacky yuks. A cottage industry of comedians, artists and musicians came out of the woodwork to take hacks at Presley's "taste" in clothes, food and drugs. An army of weird impersonators in jumpsuits only added to the gag. By 1988, Elvis was hailed as a Christ-like figure -- after he'd risen from the dead and was "spotted" at a Burger King in Kalamazoo, Mich."

If only he'd played a Rickenbacker we could have hung in there with him.
