This is false. Elvis didn't die of OD. He died an even more embarrassing death of not being able to take a shit. This is also why he blew up like a balloon in his final months. The constipation may have been a side effect of all the prescription drugs he was on. Ironically he was incredibly anti-drug, but today we'd call it prescription drug abuse.
SOURCE: have been part of one of the best Elvis Presley tribute artists in the Country for almost 10 years. Have been the musical Director for over 7. Have no choice but to learn way more details than I ever wanted to know.
To make matters worse the tensions of all this have just split the band apart. End of an era? Biggest crowds I've ever seen except for footage of the original Woodstock. Not since plannedemic hit, obviously.
Also, it's most likely that Michael Jackson was murdered.
Didn't the fbi have multiple investigations that came up empty? Am I misremembering that? The hbo documentary was just full of bullshit and the father of one of the two people that doc was centered on was caught on a recording telling the kid to go along with it unless I'm misremembering that as well.
Didn't feldman also defend him too? I've never bought the mj charges I think he was mental fucked up though. It sounds odd to feel bad for him especially when you see never land ranch and how rich he was but the story of where they paid actors for him to go shopping in a grocery store like a normal person is so sad.
ETA (Elvis Tribute Artist) is a niche industry. It's entirely different from Elvis impersonators, who basically make a mockery of everything Elvis did but have fun with it. I am part of the band; obviously the musical director is not the star.
This niche industry may explain all the people who think they saw Elvis alive though.
Lisa Marie is a huge lib Scientologist who has badmouthed Trump publicly several times. Especially after he told reporters who had been mocking his weight and appearance that, when he was younger, he was quite good looking and many people told him that he resembled Elvis Presley (which he absolutely did). She scoffed and said something like he wishes he ever looked like her dad. Wonder how she likes him now?
My brother was another Elvis doppelgänger. He was in his late teens when I was born. When I was a very little girl I used to think they were the same. LOL. There's a candid photo my mom had taken of my brother when I was about 3 that really really looks like Elvis. When I was a teen I finally told my mom I thought he looked like Elvis. It was then she told me that all through high school the girls used to flirt and call him "Elvis".
Being from the South, my brother had a similar accent as Elvis. He also was a musician with singing voice like Elvis. He married a woman whose daughter was nearly 3 years younger than me. My brother's stepdaughter's name: Lisa Marie, born same year as Elvis' daughter. In his 40s (until dieting about 15 years ago) my brother put on weight and by coincidence looked like the heavy Elvis of mid-1970s.
But despite all this, he never got into doing any Elvis Impersonator gigs.
Elvis was ok looking but as someone who was a teenage girl in the nineties, I say Donald was hotter. Elvis was my parents' generations' crush, and it's obvious his "attractiveness" was largely manufactured and marketed and pushed onto impressionable hormonal girls as the ideal. Also, his photos were all edited like crazy. Media trickery. IDK, I could be letting the whole "oh yeah, and this dude was into 14 year old girls when he was a grown ass man" thing influence my overall impression too. It's hard to see a man as anything but creepy when you know that he was, well, creepy.
I feel bad for Lisa Marie because she's the product of an inappropriate relationship where her dad was taking advantage of her mom, but she's wrong if she thinks her dad had anything on Trump when it came to looks. What he had was talent, black hair dye, and a "forbidden" air about him, built up by the media of the day. Donald Trump was and is naturally the better looking of the two. He looks better now in his seventies after having served nearly one term as president than Elvis looked in his late thirties.
How long we gonna repeat that before it is obvious they aren’t making a mistake? Read up on the Bolshevik Revolution. Didn’t need lots of people power.
That's not helpful. He's right; Russia 1917 turning into the USSR is our main history lesson, except there is NO earthly superpower to come to our rescue, the way we eventually rescued the Russian people.
No, we're not. We're even more merciless and unforgiving.
The only difference is we actually respect the rule of law.
Should they get what they wish and law enforcement is abolished then they shall be hunted for sport to complete extinction.
Rule of law only counts when it exists. The injustices we're seeing aren't rule of law, but mob rule. Even SCOTUS is intimidated out of voting their conscience. Governor Abbott certainly is. Jason Chaffetz quit for that reason.
Steel core is a small hole, through and through. You want a lead match bullet, that shatters on impact. IF they survive, they will be picking shards of lead, copper and plastic out of their navel for the rest of their life, in their wheel chair...
You'd be amazed if you knew "his music." He did everything that came down the pike, and he did it all better than anybody else. When I first got the call to play in a band focused on his stuff, I laughed and wasn't even going to return the message. But it left a website and I saw he was the workingest man in the business so I had to at least get the playlist, especially since the best band I had ever been in had just broken up.
Perhaps the most impressive factoid (to me, at least) was he did something by Paul Simon the same year that Paul Simon wrote it, and Paul Simon saw it live. He said "now we can all quit," meaning he did it so much better than anything he could conceive of there was no point in trying anymore. This means a lot to me because Paul Simon is musically slick, incredibly creative, etc. Michael Jackson also raved about Elvis. Elvis is the King of Rock n roll, while Little Richard is the architect of Rock n Roll. I've done Little Richard in the Elvis shows, which is kinda neat.
Not only was he a philanthropist but he broke up fights.
Graceland is a major cultural pilgrimage for a lot of people here in this country - especially for baby boomers and generation x'ers. Trashing Graceland is a big deal and this should not be lost on any of us. I know that a LOT of older women LOVE Elvis and look at him as like a surrogate son. Not BS'ing, either.
I am 25 years old, raised in an Elvis family. I listen to the King ALL the time, in fact it’s why i have Sirius radio. I’d rather listen to him than any of that bubble gum rap garbage they try to pass off as modern “music”. This is disgusting to me
Stereotypical answer is Suspicious Minds, especially the live version. Anything he did live I love! Also love the deeper track stuff like Talk In Your Sleep or For The Heart
I always hated Elvis growing up cuz I always heard him on the radio and on grandma's records. Then, when I got older and wiser I watched some of his live performances on YouTube. I totally understood the instant I saw him perform live. It was like an out of body experience and I realized that while the music may not have always been brilliant, the man in a live performance was like nothing that had ever been done before at the time. He literally laid the foundation for what you see in showbusiness today, and that was 60 years ago! Besides certain performers like funk musicians and fringe rockers nobody really started doing Elvis like shows consistently for many years afterwards. He was easily 10-15 years ahead of his time, and quite honestly probably 20-30.
(The live version of suspicious minds in Vegas I think it was is probably one of the greatest single song performances ever)
Nobody else has come close to Elvis’ stage presence. Sure he laid a nice foundation for subsequent acts to follow but nobody else had such complete captivation over such a large number of fans, and to think that he did it almost entirely on his own, with only a circus organizer as a manager, is a testament to the authentic way he drew and captivated crowds. The Beatles were four members plus some of the best managers and producers in the business, so certainly somewhat contrived, though their talent and exceptional songwriting kept the fans interested for so many years. Michael Jackson had widespread appeal but I don’t think fans were as deeply attached. By that time there were so many competing acts it was harder to get attached to any one act anyway. Michael Jackson also lacked the masculinity and easy humility of Elvis, and was much more private and cut off. I don’t think any musician has ever been loved as much as Elvis was and still is by many fans.
My favorites are “mean woman blues”, “please don’t stop loving me”, “mystery train”, “that’s alright”, and “heartbreak hotel” but I still find new stuff from watching his rerun movies on light tv and online.
The ETA (Elvis Tribute Artist) I've played for the last 10 years is one of the best in the business precisely because he does every move EXACTLY like Elvis. It's spooky. It doesn't hurt that he walks into the room and sounds exactly like him, either. Wears the same size outfits, never does a song unless he's in an outfit Elvis at least did that song in.
It's funny because sometimes Elvis was more focused on the show than his singing, and he goes off pitch, loses his place in the song, etc. To recover from moments like that is perhaps the hardest thing for any performer to do. He was the best.
We do Suspicious Minds every show, closing our first set. To say I'm sick of that song would be an understatement, although have you ever heard the harmonized version of Love Me Tender? I stayed up one night figuring out how to cover all those harmony parts. Sirius does him justice. His "deeper tracks" go on forever ...
Out of all the recordings perhaps my favorite part is where someone in the audience yells out "you're so white."
I forgot about Elvis. I Never knew any Elvis fans and I was never into him. Yesterday I go into this old lady’s house and she had a huge velvet Elvis painting on her wall. I was like “oh shit a velvet Elvis painting!” It was like seeing a super rare artifact. Got kind of excited and I was surprised that I couldn’t stop staring it. I even touched to see if was really velvet. Never seen one in real life and I had a strange sense of nostalgia.
Then we need to install good men in positions above the local DA's .. right now we have a useless BigMac scarfing bagpipe player who can't be bothered to shutdown well funded terrorists who cross state lines to commit third world political violence.
This is the next step to goading us. They’ll come for anything and everything (schools, VA hospitals, churches, amusement parks). The only goal is to incite violence before November so the blue hats and Chinese soldiers waiting in the wings have an excuse to invade.
The fact we aren’t up in arms over that is proof we will do nothing. They riot and murder and use death of felons and criminals as their excuse. Mother and child are blatantly murdered for being white and yet we aren’t reaching for guns.
You think it's only 4 years? 40 at least. We're just seeing in these 4 years what decades of societal rot, corruption, apathy, and treason look like up close and unmasked.
The Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and grievance politics did not begin with Trayvon Martin. Go back to Booker T Washington in the early 1900s describing your BLM, Al Sharpton types. The US prototype for Antifa, the Klan, dates back to 1868 I believe. Antifa itself is from the 1930s. Do you think these organizations and ideas just all of a sudden found fertile ground after decades?
You honestly believe all this is brand new, Prosecutors letting charges drop, biased judges, rigged juries, terror, and voter fraud by the Democrat party in areas they ruled stretch back to the post Reconstruction South. It took, in some cases, decades to bring many of the Klan down here to justice.
Communist traitors in all levels of government hmm remember a fellow named McCarthy and his crusade to root it out? Was that 4 years ago? No. Our enemies are bolder but not new. They didn't just appear. We've been being subverted a good while now.
You're right there are new front groups but much of the goals, tactics, and organizations have been at this awhile.
Some of the old groups are weak.I agree that think tanks always use ideas or inspirations from previous successful extremist groups.
The only problem now is that the media doesn’t have a decorum or presenting the stories.most journalists prefer reporting their opinions or perspective than the actual story.I love right wing news sources because they always wait for Liberal sources to report the news and then they find and report the missing stories in the news updates.
Fucking with Elvis and his legacy is a bigtime way to piss off older voters and women. Sounds crazy but that man means a lot to a lot of boomers and Gen X'ers like myself.
That's a great song that was written for Sammy Davis Jr.. He never did it because it was too controversial. It's now taboo. Why? Because the left is so racist they think that "ghetto" is synonymous with black. Just like they think black people can't get a photo ID.
Only 1 person in our ETA band is so cucked that he had to object to doing the song at all, and took a knee during rehearsal. Fortunately he didn't pull that on stage, but he is reeeing enough that the band may be broken up and done.
Whereas the star is unphased by doing it in front of crowds, who do not object.
It's funny how part of the reason Elvis was controversial because he was adapting music and dance from a lot of black artists. That combined with his (tame by today's standards) sexual dance moves made rock and roll the evil for the conservatives of that generation.
Today, the left would be upset because Elvis would be "appropriating" black music and dance for himself.
Exactly. Without black music we wouldn't have even HAD Elvis.
These fucking retards don't have a clue about their own culture.
It's almost like... they HAVE NO CULTURE.
Ok this is silly but it could be done. That song could be done in Revolutionary War era garb and lingo. And also as a Civil War re-enactment, just for shits and giggles.
I'm only a few years late to be considered a boomer. Elvis was definitely a hit with my parents, they were born mid to late 40's. I've always liked Elvis, but was never a fan, like my parents.
Yeah they're in that prime demographic to be his fans. When you're 8 and the star is around 20 ...
Not too many left alive that were born before Elvis, but those 75 and up couldn't escape his career. Here's a funny factoid: he hated literally every movie role he was ever given. He made more money in movies than he did with music. He wanted something with substance but said he'd be a fool to break the formula that was working. It's also his carrying on with movie starlets that ended his marriage, which effectively ended his life. He never got over his divorce, he was kind of a dead man walking after that ...
I am 25 years old. Elvis was gone way before my time but he has become an every day part of my life and his music and stories of his character have helped me through many times in my life.
THIS is what they hate. They hate all things American. All things joyful and happy. They will stop at nothing. They have no character and are evil and monsters.
For real man.
And I bet Graceland security got in bad trouble. That security camera setup they have there is really something else, pretty crazy coverage. They saw it happen live and just chose to do nothing, guaranteed. Unless they were sleeping or something, they couldn't have missed.
I always feel like Memphis is some sort of exception, at least a little, with these issues. We're a fairly blue city, but the population is always pretty chill whenever other cities start stuff.
It almost makes me think that the vandals could be from out of town.
Hopefully we can do our part for our state and help to end this crap!
Ok they've really gone too far now. Kill them all.
Edit: Clarifying this is a joke since it's probably my highest upvoted comment. Free Kyle!
Vandalized by criminals paid by Communists. BLM is NOT a black movement. Right, Talcum X?
Agree. As if that woman does not have enough problems.
I am sick of BLM. The whole organization is a bunch of jerks.
6 weeks ago. Feels like a year, with how this year has been going. It's just paint, it'll wash off - she'll never sell it, her father is buried there.
Now imagine if someone vandalized a Tupac mural and said the same thing, they'd probably get shot.
This is false. Elvis didn't die of OD. He died an even more embarrassing death of not being able to take a shit. This is also why he blew up like a balloon in his final months. The constipation may have been a side effect of all the prescription drugs he was on. Ironically he was incredibly anti-drug, but today we'd call it prescription drug abuse.

Corey Feldman too, and that guy was passed around Hollywood like a party favor. If he vouches for MJ then I’m inclined to believe him.
Didn't feldman also defend him too? I've never bought the mj charges I think he was mental fucked up though. It sounds odd to feel bad for him especially when you see never land ranch and how rich he was but the story of where they paid actors for him to go shopping in a grocery store like a normal person is so sad.
One of my children is named Elvis. Thank you for helping spread the Gospel.
Now that's dedication!
MJ was a raging addict bro. He had a “doctor” shoot him up with Propofol every night to fall asleep.
Propofol is what they use to knock you out for major surgery.
That’s assisted suicide.
Sebastian Haff? Is that you?

I was just having a bit of fun...the name is a reference to the Bruce Campbell movie Bubba Ho-Tep. If you're into campy B-movies...I highly recommend.

Our President has great genes!
Graceland said “no comment”, according to the article. There you go.
I meant kill them all with kindness. We're better than that.... for now anyways.
We gonna go full Rooftop Elvis
.
How long we gonna repeat that before it is obvious they aren’t making a mistake? Read up on the Bolshevik Revolution. Didn’t need lots of people power.
How so?
Can you elaborate further please?
.
That's not helpful. He's right; Russia 1917 turning into the USSR is our main history lesson, except there is NO earthly superpower to come to our rescue, the way we eventually rescued the Russian people.
Roof Elvis will sure as heck TCB.
In a flash!
Better not mess with the US Male, my friend
in minecraft....
No, we're not. We're even more merciless and unforgiving.
The only difference is we actually respect the rule of law.
Should they get what they wish and law enforcement is abolished then they shall be hunted for sport to complete extinction.
Rule of law only counts when it exists. The injustices we're seeing aren't rule of law, but mob rule. Even SCOTUS is intimidated out of voting their conscience. Governor Abbott certainly is. Jason Chaffetz quit for that reason.
Chaffetz quit because of blackmail
Ok Chaffetz wasn't intimidated by the current mindless horde on the street, true. It was still a lack of the rule of law.
When you say "kindness" are we talking about lead core or steel core?
Steel core is a small hole, through and through. You want a lead match bullet, that shatters on impact. IF they survive, they will be picking shards of lead, copper and plastic out of their navel for the rest of their life, in their wheel chair...
Kill them with kindness...in Minecraft.
Oh yeah. 'Never Fuck With The King!"

I'm not a fan of Elvis' music but everything I've heard about the guy made him sound like an upstanding person.
He refused to talk about politics and social issues.

Entertainers today should take his lead.
You'd be amazed if you knew "his music." He did everything that came down the pike, and he did it all better than anybody else.

I'm all shook up.
Defend the King
All the Elvis fanatics just locked and loaded. You'd be surprised how many Elvis pilgrims make the trek to Graceland on his birthday every year.
Graceland is a major cultural pilgrimage for a lot of people here in this country - especially for baby boomers and generation x'ers. Trashing Graceland is a big deal and this should not be lost on any of us. I know that a LOT of older women LOVE Elvis and look at him as like a surrogate son. Not BS'ing, either.
Agreed. The optics on defacing The King’s home will do more harm than good.
And his estate will have very little problem bringing it back to order.
But still, have they no sense of decency?
Yep, keep the red pills coming commie fucks.
Lol
Yeah, how exactly do you remove one paint without removing all paint?
BLM has ruined this monument
If you get on latex or oil before it’s cured you can remove the fresh stuff with light power wash/light solvent.
Aerosol cures almost immediately, if that’s what they used then it’s abrasion and it all goes.
Graffiti is the least damaging thing they've done. The "monument" itself can be re-painted, but probably ALL needs to be repainted for it to match.
I am 25 years old, raised in an Elvis family. I listen to the King ALL the time, in fact it’s why i have Sirius radio. I’d rather listen to him than any of that bubble gum rap garbage they try to pass off as modern “music”. This is disgusting to me
Your favorite song?
Easy, Jailhouse Rock
Although I have a soft spot for Love Me Tender
Stereotypical answer is Suspicious Minds, especially the live version. Anything he did live I love! Also love the deeper track stuff like Talk In Your Sleep or For The Heart
I always hated Elvis growing up cuz I always heard him on the radio and on grandma's records. Then, when I got older and wiser I watched some of his live performances on YouTube.

I agree with all of your points. The stage presence is mesmerizing

Suspicious Minds
Lol my grandma went nuts for Elvis back in the day.
Arm grandma and tell her what happened
I forgot about Elvis. I Never knew any Elvis fans and I was never into him. Yesterday I go into this old lady’s house and she had a huge velvet Elvis painting on her wall. I was like “oh shit a velvet Elvis painting!” It was like seeing a super rare artifact. Got kind of excited and I was surprised that I couldn’t stop staring it. I even touched to see if was really velvet. Never seen one in real life and I had a strange sense of nostalgia.
Wait till ya see the lamp.
Watch Aloha from Hawaii - 1973 concert. You’ll be a fan after that.
STILL the most watched broadcast EVER. Is that incredible or what??
The restaurant I used to work at had a bunch of his posters, it is a blues themed bbq restaurant
That’s fantastic.
Elvis was born 85 years ago. Most older women who are into Elvis swooned over him when they were teenagers. A lot of them are older than baby boomers.
They'll continue to attack any and all things American.
Why not?
Nobody is stopping them. Organized and well funded ... and free to destroy America.
"... for good men to do nothing."
Regretably, if good men do something, the Soros bought DA sends his goons out to arrest them.
Then we need to install good men in positions above the local DA's .. right now we have a useless BigMac scarfing bagpipe player who can't be bothered to shutdown well funded terrorists who cross state lines to commit third world political violence.
That's supposed to be the state AG.
Soros got some as well.
Some people did something.
That means you may have to open fire / retaliate against duly sworn officers of the law.
Is that your justification?
Nice try FBI.
I keep forgetting that sO mUcH iS hApPeNiNg bEhInD tHe sCeNeS and tHeSe tHiNgS tAkE tImE.
Thanks for getting me back in line with muh Plan, patriot.
WWG#1WG#2!
You could have just said NBA sponsored communists
Only until we stop them.
They will not stop inciting the Right to attack them until they get their civil war.
Ding ding ding! Winner winner commies for dinner.
This is the next step to goading us. They’ll come for anything and everything (schools, VA hospitals, churches, amusement parks). The only goal is to incite violence before November so the blue hats and Chinese soldiers waiting in the wings have an excuse to invade.
So stupid. That's not what will happen. Much more likely that they'd just have the treasonous generals remove Trump from office.
Yep, toppling statues didn’t do it. Burning cities didn’t do it. Desecrating Elvis won’t do it either.
I don’t know man. Disrespecting the King might be a bridge to far for some!
Fuck you. Cannon Hinnant should’ve been it.
That’s why some people suggest that Trump might use the insurrection act.
Notice at the end of my sentence I put “for some.” I wasn’t making light of the death of Connor Hinnant at all.
The fact we aren’t up in arms over that is proof we will do nothing. They riot and murder and use death of felons and criminals as their excuse. Mother and child are blatantly murdered for being white and yet we aren’t reaching for guns.
This just in, Elvis Presley discovered to be a far right Boogman
He even wore Hawaiian shirts!
FTFY Bub
Murdering over thirty two people isn’t doing it. You realize, at this point, you have lost?
32 war casualties does not lose the war.
When that side has casualties and the other doesn’t, and we’re still not fighting back, yeah.
It is a strange strategy ...
You think it's only 4 years? 40 at least. We're just seeing in these 4 years what decades of societal rot, corruption, apathy, and treason look like up close and unmasked.
blm did not exist 40 years ago. It started over Trayvon Martin. Continuous crime did not start until 3 months ago. Let's keep history accurate.
What are you referring to with 40 years?
The Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and grievance politics did not begin with Trayvon Martin. Go back to Booker T Washington in the early 1900s describing your BLM, Al Sharpton types. The US prototype for Antifa, the Klan, dates back to 1868 I believe. Antifa itself is from the 1930s. Do you think these organizations and ideas just all of a sudden found fertile ground after decades?
You honestly believe all this is brand new, Prosecutors letting charges drop, biased judges, rigged juries, terror, and voter fraud by the Democrat party in areas they ruled stretch back to the post Reconstruction South. It took, in some cases, decades to bring many of the Klan down here to justice.
Communist traitors in all levels of government hmm remember a fellow named McCarthy and his crusade to root it out? Was that 4 years ago? No. Our enemies are bolder but not new. They didn't just appear. We've been being subverted a good while now.
You're right there are new front groups but much of the goals, tactics, and organizations have been at this awhile.
Some of the old groups are weak.I agree that think tanks always use ideas or inspirations from previous successful extremist groups. The only problem now is that the media doesn’t have a decorum or presenting the stories.most journalists prefer reporting their opinions or perspective than the actual story.I love right wing news sources because they always wait for Liberal sources to report the news and then they find and report the missing stories in the news updates.
Trump's too stupid to have a plan, amirite????
BLM = burn murder loot
.....BML?
Burn loot murder lol
Probably meant Burn Loot Murder but you get the idea
biden likes minors
Black Militia LARPing was a pretty thorough catastrophe.
Bums, Losers, Murderers
"You a bum, bro"
Behaving Like....
Monsters is less spicy.
Oo oo
Aa aa
Dyslexic Pede's represent!!
Fucking with Elvis and his legacy is a bigtime way to piss off older voters and women. Sounds crazy but that man means a lot to a lot of boomers and Gen X'ers like myself.
Very similar to Johnny Cash.
And it's crazy to think that his music still has a big impact on the world.
It's Dollywood.
You're forgetting about the generation older than baby boomers. Those are the most hardcore Elvis fans because they grew up with his music
In the ghetto (In the ghetto)
(kek)
That's a great song that was written for Sammy Davis Jr.. He never did it because it was too controversial. It's now taboo. Why? Because the left is so racist they think that "ghetto" is synonymous with black. Just like they think black people can't get a photo ID.
Only 1 person in our ETA band is so cucked that he had to object to doing the song at all, and took a knee during rehearsal. Fortunately he didn't pull that on stage, but he is reeeing enough that the band may be broken up and done.
Whereas the star is unphased by doing it in front of crowds, who do not object.
It's funny how part of the reason Elvis was controversial because he was adapting music and dance from a lot of black artists. That combined with his (tame by today's standards) sexual dance moves made rock and roll the evil for the conservatives of that generation.
Today, the left would be upset because Elvis would be "appropriating" black music and dance for himself.
Exactly. Without black music we wouldn't have even HAD Elvis. These fucking retards don't have a clue about their own culture. It's almost like... they HAVE NO CULTURE.
Fucking exactly right.
He will be accused any day now
That’s why I treat most racist stories with suspicion.
LeBron prolly ordered this.
I wonder if they’ve heard about the great white capitalist George Soros?
I have in fact heard of this fellow white person of unknown ethnic background.
NO.Time To Round All These Commies Up And Burn Them. You do not mess with Graceland and live to tell about.
Probably why it was vandalized.

Ok this is silly but it could be done. That song could be done in Revolutionary War era garb and lingo. And also as a Civil War re-enactment, just for shits and giggles.
I was thinking about joining their socialist movement, but now they've gone too far.
Abolish ICE ? That one made me laugh
So what we can have more crimes? These people really need to be shot in their stupid bum
I'm not sure that's lethal?
Boomers everywhere have been redpilled. They done fucked with about 5 million votes.
The oldest baby boomer is 11 years younger than Elvis. A considerable number of his fans are older than that. And they vote.
Younger people still like Elvis too. He's an icon.
I always get a kick out of the younger crowd enjoying our shows. We get teeny boppers that stick around, just like Elvis did.
I'm only a few years late to be considered a boomer. Elvis was definitely a hit with my parents, they were born mid to late 40's. I've always liked Elvis, but was never a fan, like my parents.
Yeah they're in that prime demographic to be his fans. When you're 8 and the star is around 20 ...
Not too many left alive that were born before Elvis, but those 75 and up couldn't escape his career. Here's a funny factoid: he hated literally every movie role he was ever given. He made more money in movies than he did with music. He wanted something with substance but said he'd be a fool to break the formula that was working. It's also his carrying on with movie starlets that ended his marriage, which effectively ended his life. He never got over his divorce, he was kind of a dead man walking after that ...
I am 25 years old. Elvis was gone way before my time but he has become an every day part of my life and his music and stories of his character have helped me through many times in my life.
THIS is what they hate. They hate all things American. All things joyful and happy. They will stop at nothing. They have no character and are evil and monsters.
WE. WILL. WIN.
Ah you motherfuckers!
For real man. And I bet Graceland security got in bad trouble. That security camera setup they have there is really something else, pretty crazy coverage. They saw it happen live and just chose to do nothing, guaranteed. Unless they were sleeping or something, they couldn't have missed.
I always feel like Memphis is some sort of exception, at least a little, with these issues. We're a fairly blue city, but the population is always pretty chill whenever other cities start stuff.
It almost makes me think that the vandals could be from out of town.
Hopefully we can do our part for our state and help to end this crap!
This is so sad. Elvis wouldn't like this shit.
He was known to kick ass if he had to, to stop a fight.
These idiots are larping Fight Club now.
Please boomers and anyone around for Elvis and the good ol days PLEASE VOTE TRUMP SEND THIS TO YOUR OLDER RELATIVES
Trump's a boomer
What's the big deal
They'll be haunted.
"In the Ghetto" takes the Graceland tour.
boomers aint gonna be happy about this
75 and older are his biggest fan base.
imagine you are a democrat and totally okay with this shit.
Memphis is a shithole
Except for Graceland.
"Dad, I want to take you to a sleazy part of Memphis that we call, uhh, Memphis."
That and the Rendezvous. Sorry, Texas, but ain't nobody make ribs like Memphis.
Yeah....Its true
Daaaaammm the Country Boys are going to announce a no limit hunting season on them for that heresy. Nick Cage is going to be Pissed
That sounds kind of gay.
I hope they made a point to check out his gun collection while they were there.
Revenge of the Elvii. Cry 'Havoc!,' and let slip the dogs of war.
The flying Elvii! Paratroopers on dey azz
The Flying Elvii... Utah chapter!
Is nothing sacred?
Every sperm is NOT sacred to them, that's a white thing
Not to leftists no.
Uh uh, you don’t fuck with the king.
Mother fucker!
Too far. That’s the king. That’s a sanctuary of the golden age of an irreplaceable American icon. Too. Damn.far.
Well so were statues of Lincoln etc.
Without black music we wouldn't have fucking HAD Elvis. BLM is retarded
ok we need Kyle out NOW!
NOT ON MY WATCH Noem has something to say about that. Notice that they attack within the jurisdiction of Soros DAs
Well that settles it. I guess I have to vote for Joe Biden now.
Fuck Black Lives Matter ™ .. so done with their shit.
Big mistake. Only thing crazier than horse people are Elvis people.
Ya fucked up.
Many Elvis people ARE horse people. prepares popcorn for the double whammy
Elvis is my all-time favorite artist. The line has been drawn in the sand.
This is equivalent to the Redneck Whitehouse. They just declared war whether they know it or not!
I have no words.
Very specific parts of the population.
BLM is so good at getting people on their side. The NFL and NBA should give them a call so they can follow suit.
Fucking Elvis? Why? Because he’s a white male? Shit the mans son in law was Michael fuckin Jackson!
Let me guess, because he was a white male, am I right?
Fucking despicable.
But why...
Unfuckingbelievable
Haha the comments on the twitter post. “It’s a set up to make them look bad!”
Oh yeah, cause the mob that lights cities on fire totally wouldn’t graffiti anything in case they looked bad. They have standards.
