[Sans-Culotte]

I remember it clearly because my mom and sister were huge Elvis fans. I stood in a huge line once to get them tickets to one of his concerts here in Houston (they were shocked at how fat he'd become).

On the day Elvis died, I was out of town looking for an apartment before the upcoming college school year. I called home at one point and my sister answered. I could tell she had been crying and she told me that Elvis died. I was frankly shocked. At that time, Elvis still had a clean image (he'd been enlisted by Nixon to help with the "war on drugs" a few years earlier).

Later that evening, I went with some friends to see Star Wars for about the third time that summer.
