I'm a huge Elvis fan and a fan of your father and I was initially excited to see what you were going to say about that iconic day, but damn, that was a major disappointment! I read Jerry's book, and everyone knows that Elvis had a drug addiction problem, but a little context would have been nice. Elvis wasn't some washed-up entertainer buying street drugs. And what was the dressing like Dracula comment for? I wasn't expecting a serious journalist piece, but I was expecting something other than a silly, goofy description of an extraordinary event! Very disappointed…
Love your account and Elvis. With another commenter, dispised nixon. The thing about Elvis and drugs that is really confusing, he didn't do street drugs. He was prescribed medications that he took. We know it is not really any different, it is still drug abuse. But it seemed to be very different for Elvis. I can understand that.

Watched this great story on Morning Joe. Great work Tim!

We despised Nixon and were indifferent about Elvis, but this account rings true.
No words. Happy Thanksgiving!
