One nice thing I'll say about the passage of time: Outside of that movie, it really feels like people don't talk much about Elvis anymore. When I was a kid it felt like oldies stations were more of a normal thing (or maybe they're still normal and they're just playing different oldies now) and that motherfucker was inescapable. Then after I got out of high school all the rockabilly shit came back and some people I thought of as friends went out of their way to do their hair in an Elvis-like way? A guy a few years younger than I am named his kid after some Elvis reference?
Then in hip-hop you had Chuck D and 3rd Bass bringing up Elvis in a few different (negative) contexts.
I am not building up to any big point here, I would just like to say fuck Elvis and it's nice that he is far less of a presence in today's pop culture. Motherfucker cast a long-ass shadow and his shit always sucked. These are the things that cross my mind while I'm waiting for an energy drink to get cold in the freezer. Important shit.
