Wish I could have given it to you. Had this huge bottle. When I decided to stop taking it, I returned it to the doctor. You can imagine how hurt I felt after such voluntary actions to be told I I had dependency issues. I was such a trusting lambkin. Anyways, then you'd grok the financial pages.
I love the lyrics. You know the John Henry reference? I was amazed by that. Rawlings and Welch managed to say something about Presley no one had, to my knowledge, touched before. He was a real person. Sometimes I forget that. By the time I was really aware of him, he was deep into
the Vegas period, chubby in a white jumpsuit, then gone.But now I think, if that jumpsuit makes you feel good, go for it.
And the hair. At least he was only hurting himself, not bilking people out of money through *smart* business practices. He didn't have a corporation to hide behind. Just that big old Graceland.Was it Herzog who said Americans (the US variety) are the most exotic culture and completely innocent of that exoticism? I'm not sure I agree. But it stuck with me.
