Elvis Passed in 1977
I was never the "fan" type of person. I have a lot of friends who were fans of "The King". Pop culture and all of those trappings were something which repulsed me during the seventies as I was attempting to come into my own as it were and had little time for who I was as I pursued who I wanted to be.Elvis Presley died on this day in 1977 as the result of a heart attack. The international star that he was gave him resources for that overindulgence and pursuits which ultimately became his downfall. Even in his decline his public loved him. He died too young at age 42.
