• Poor Elvis. The Vegas Years and prescription drugs are really kicking in and the delusions are taking over. Elvis wanted to carry guns across state lines and was offering his services against anti-social elements to the Prez. Nixon needed all the help he could get so he's happy. Sad. - FilmsForWebsites

    "007-ELVIS", & Tricky Dick, it is rumored they were in the oval office singing...that would be a recording to hear...as would any talk of Nixon discouraging 'E' from running for the U.S.Presidency, apparantly Elvis told him he thought he could win with "all his fans".
    It was the high-point of three days The King was on his own without any bodyguards, he even took a few 'coach' flights across the country!
    Dick Cavette hosts a movie about the whole story, the VHS video of it is available here, but the DVD is only available in Britain.

    My dad said "In years to come, kids will look in a history book and ask 'What was the matter with this president?', the economy was perfect, we put a man on the moon, and relations with China were never better".
