From the BBC's On This Day.

  • 1977: Elvis dies
  • 1984: John DeLorean cleared of drug trafficking charges

To remember Elvis I'm listening to the Dead Kennedy's cover of "Viva Las Vegas", which begins with some spoken work excerpts from Thompson's _Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas_.

"But in my own way, I am King. Hail to the King, baby." --Ash, _Evil Dead III_.


Also on this date...
