Dad, did Elvis die on the toilet?



"Dad, did Elvis die on the toilet?", this is how I was greeted by my 5 year old when picking him up from school the other week. "J said that he did and it was because he took drugs and ate too many cheeseburgers, her dad told her that!" he explained.

What do you do? So I told him that it was true and that Elvis was a very troubled man at the time, to which he replied "maybe he shouldn't have gone to MacDonals (sic) as much." I now believe that my son is much less likely to become a maccy dees junkie, which can only be a good thing.

The autopsy report stated that his bowel had become compacted with a "clay-like substance". But its probably best if you don't tell your kid that.

Really enjoying the blog. Thanks for all the cool stuff.

Long Black Limousine's a belter

Essential Elvis Vol. 4 A Hundred Years From Now - is well worth a wallop, all the undubbed master from the early seventies

The dentist he saw gave him a opioid and Elvis was not told that they can cause the bowel to stop moving and that is what happened to The King of Rock and Roll. Not his fault. And he did the pills to stay awake for the concerts and his fans. Again it distroyed him. His health. Cut him some slack. All I have said is TRUE!!!
