I was there last year about a week before the 25th anniversary. Already the gravesite was overun with flowers and tributes. It was interesting. He was one of the greats.

Yes, thousands of people w/ some weird obsession w/ this overweight, drug addicted womanizer, who met and seduced his wife when she was 14. Yes, truly something to look up to. And for God's sake, his music wasn't all that good. Just because he was the blackest sounding white guy alive he became famous.

I'll always remember the fat Elvis, so bloated on pills that he sweated more than an Al-Queda member in an Special Ops interrogation. That and keeling over while on the crapper.

I really don't get these people. They're probably the same folks who lined the streets when Dale Earnhart died. Granted, that was a tragedy, but it's not like the guy was a "hero" or anything. He was a freaking race car driver. And Elvis was a singer. Why the obsessions?
