Internet tongues are wagging about my shocking revelation and photographic evidence, which prove Elvis Presley is alive and well and doing midnight personal appearances in a small-town Kroger store.Frank Thompson, the noted cinema historian and fervent Hollywood star sighter, is a man who gloats mercilessly over me, gushing radiant tales of his recent brush with Slick Slavin, the uncredited Master of Ceremonies in "King Creole" (1958).
I couldn't wait to show him the snapshots of chummy me and E., the credited headliner of that film.
Frank writes:
"Wow, impressive. And he was there for, what, candy? Perhaps a prescription? I just can't believe you were lucky enough to encounter him, Elvis."
You are preaching to the choir, deacon. It was a ... very ... special ... episode.
I'd always heard Elvis is a shy gentleman, kinda quiet, and I found him to be exactly that.
He let me do most of -- well, all of -- the talking and sobbing, but I had to scamper off because there was no one in the Aisle 13 check-out line.
Otherwise, I would have requested "Moody Blue."
