Badeye, Elvis was a decent man who fell into drugs through his “handlers” and over indulgent doctors. He was handsome and had a beautiful voice and gave us years of pleasure and wonderful songs to enjoy.

We regret his final years.

If you don’t care for him please refrain from piling on.

No offense intended, as I noted potlatch. I know, millions love the guy to this day.

Don’t blame his employees for his weaknesses, thats all I’ll say.

Have a great day.

Potlatch,
Thank you. I guess I’m getting old. I remember a time when you never heard a bad word against Elvis. He genuinely was a very patriotic, down to earth guy who loved his country and his mama. Yeah, he got screwed up in the end and paid for it. But in his lifetime, he was a pretty simple, big hearted good ole Southern boy. Ask any charity in Memphis and they will tell you how much they miss him. He gave a lot and never bragged about it.

This is soooo unlike today’s self-absorbed stars. There will never be another like Elvis.
