What Really Happened When Elvis Met Richard Nixon

Ойын-сауық

In 1970, there were few - if any - people in America more famous than Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon. Both the King of Rock and Roll and the president of the United States were at the top of the world, and only a few years away from their dramatic falls from grace - which is part of what makes their December 21, 1970, meeting at the White House so fascinating.

    and you forgot high out of his mind, his drug of choice was codeine although he took a lot of other stuff like uppers and downers, the FBI warned Nixon about him after the visit and advised him to break off communication with Elvis.

    @@Blessedone333AZ Elvis and Nixon if anything is a softly conservative film focusing on friendship, respect, breaking down barriers and attaining your dreams through hard-work, not hand outs. It also takes multiple swipes at (and I don't want to get political, I'm just saying it like the movie presents it) far-left ideology and focuses on the fact that both Elvis and Nixon, for all of their faults were self-made men who worked hard to get where they were. When Spacey gives the 'Look where I came from and look where you came from. Left wingers look at our success and want to tear it down because we took the hard road' speech, I was sitting there open mouthed pondering, "am I agreeing with Richard Nixon?" lol. It also presents Nixon as a devoted, loving father and beneath his gruff exterior a softy at heart, however south his career went later. It was nice to see him for once not outright demonized. If anything, I'm shocked Shannon wanted to do the movie.

    Elvis had been up for days if not a week at this point. He was pale and puffy, and it's hard to believe the same man had been a picture of health in the Summer recording That's The Way It Is and its Vegas concert documentary. The concert grind and the pills that made it possible had already got to him and he was never the same again in body, mind, voice and spirit. Hair stayed on point, though.

    I remember this day and it was not strange... it was betrayal. The King was southern blue collar rock along the lines of Cash and Allman Brothers. Hs screwed up manager sold Elvis to Hollywood, the Military, Vegas. It was a split between clean cut right wing music that the Beach Boys represented and counter culture rock and roll music the Doors, Hendrix, the Beatles and Stones represented. Elvis was viewed by youth of my age at the time as a "sell out". Pot was not legal and not illegal at the time but Nixon made it illegal to go after the Anti-War Protesters who were smoking it up as the only thing he had to arrest them. Elvis was his man to build up the generation who decades later were to be Trump's loyal slowly aging baby boomer minions. The King is the Father of Country Music propaganda, he would have been a QAnon supporter if QAnon were around back then.

    @@octavius8562 Do your research before posting. Elvis started touring in January 1970, with first stop at the Houston Astrodome. Over several days, 200,000 people saw him. He then went on to be the hottest ticket in the country in the 70's. He outdid everyone. I researched this years ago. The info was impeccably kept, down to how many were at each venue. He sold out every one, and if Parker had too small of a venue, he had to go back and do another concert. Almost 1700 in the 70's. Also Vegas twice a night. This video is filled with lies. I met Bud Krogh in Memphis and know the whole story. It, (the video...several really)with Jerry Schilling, whom I also met, tells all that went on that day and why. Nothing like this uploader says. 99% lies.You and this uploader obviously know very little about the life of Elvis.

    @@octavius8562To you again.... Remember one thing. Elvis NEVER lost any of his popularity at any time in his life, and in his death. During the 60's he made movies of which none lost money. He was the first to make a million per movie. Shelley Fabares, who made 3 movies with him, recalls sitting in the huge 750 seat eating place of the stars. who worked at MGM Studios. She had been talking about his presence and how strong it was on a PBS show. She said people in that huge room had seen every celeb there was and couldn't care less. She sensed something behind her. The room went quiet. She turned and saw Elvis at the door looking in, and at the same time everyone in the room getting up rushing to the door. He had disappeared. She said here he was with the Beatles ruling the charts, at his lowest, and all these people were going to rush him. She said with that kind of thing, he would never live a long life. She said she would love him forever. He went on to do the 68 Special which was the most watched show all year on TV. Did the '73 Aloha in Hawaii, seen via satellite by over a billion people. Was the hottest ticket in America in the 70's with nearly 1700 sold out concerts. Starting in 1997 until covid, Elvis in Concert, with him on the big screen and his live band and singers have traveled the world to sold out concerts. It starts up again this year. The man has never stopped. All the while, but for some covid years, 600,000 visit Graceland every year.

    LED ZEPPELIN and ELVIS were the number one performing artists in the world then, I think Zeppelin were outselling him so Elvis wanted to meet them and did. They were both in the same city at the same time and Elvis invited them to his show, Zeppelin arrived late but then attended an after show party and met him and hit off. Robert Plant tells the story about this meeting about how cool Elvis was and how he used to sing an Elvis song as their sound check before a gig. When Elvis left several hours later he turned just before he (left the building ) and called out to Robert and started singing that song to him and the band ss he left. Robert Plant was blown away by this.

    @@Bigbadwhitecracker WOW! It's hilarious to see the utter lack of knowledge about Elvis. Were you there starting in 1969? If so, please tell me YOUR opinion. If not, I was there each year and will tell YOU. Elvis lit up, not just the venue, but the whole city. We once got in to his show by asking a pit boss at Caesar's Palace, who put us in the invited only line. From the moment you got in the cab, that's all the drivers talked about until we would get to wherever we were staying that year. We stayed at the Sands once and in our rooms on the intercom, was Elvis. That's where the Rat Pack played. I saw most all shows on the strip through those years and there was nothing that ever topped him and his beauty, talent and charisma. Elvis did slow down after '74, but still put on good shows. No other entertainer has ever LIT UP a city like Elvis lit up Vegas, and was the start of other big names playing there to this day. 45 years after his passing, 600,000 people still go to Graceland, to the new 450 room plush hotel and the 200,000 sq ft Elvis Presley's Memphis complex across from Graceland housing one million artifacts, from cars, awards, gold/platinum records, costumes, wedding clothes, to jewelry, to WHY HE WENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE! THAT BADGE HE WANTED. He collected badges and THAT was the ONLY reason he was there. Made no difference what prez it was. When he wanted something he went for it. He was friends with Carter and remained non political until he died. He LIKED the Beatles. The Beatles said without Elvis, there would be no Beatles. You are watching the wrong video about this trip..

    Elvis only went for the Badge and that was it. Seeing he collected badges. He never turned anyone in for anything. He said whatever he thought it would take to get the Badge.

    Elvis being my idol, this story never ceases to amaze me in how crazy it really is lol, I truly believe the main reason he did this was like Pricilla said so he can carry his guns and bring his drugs anywhere he wanted, and used an excuse like the youth and American culture as an excuse. He did also have a fascination with law enforcement and had a collection of badges.

    If anybody is interested the book "Revelations from the Memphis Mafia" is one of the best books I've ever read. Its a great format from the beginning to the very end. It's written by Lamar Fike, Billy Smith and a few others from the start. There are parts of this book so crazy and you laugh out loud. There is a chapter about Elvis'd Chimp Scatter which is so god dam funny, as well as the time they were all traveling by car and ended up in this tiny town in Alabama or Louisiana I forgot which but Elvis needed some "medication". Elvis came up with the plan that someone has to know where the Pharmacist lives sine there is only one drug store. Sure enough the asked and were told where he lived, as the story goes about 9 PM they knock of the Pharm door. COuld you imagine how freaking surreal that would be?
