Millennials Reaction to When ELVIS died (Media coverage) | THE WOLF HUNTERZ Jon and Dolly 

What a wonderful comment....We still miss Elvis so much, my greetings and respects from Argentina.

Everyone always says how kind and gentle he was. You are so lucky to have met him.

Did you notice the two officers who saluted as Elvis went by in the hearse? I've always wondered if that was protocol or if they did that on their own because of their great love and respect for Elvis. I have always suspected the latter was the case but don't know for sure.

@@LM-hb6yn Since they were police, they were accustomed to saluting fellow officers to show respect. I'm sure they did the same for Elvis, just to show respect. Saluting is not normal in civilian processions but is in police and military funerals. So, I'm with you. These officers were showing their respect for someone they cared about.

@@jjbud3124but Elvis was a veteran ❤

You nailed it pal.

Music, and the societal changes he was the catalyst of. The man was the forerunner to the civil rights movement and the sexual revolution of the 60s.

FM existed in 1977, I had an AM/FM/8-track stereo system, a portable AM/FM/8-track player and an AM/FM radio in my car.

I was getting some teeth removed and was high on the gas they give you. Took me a while to believe the news. First report was it hadn’t been confirmed and I figured it was a rumor. Sadly it wasn’t.

Which movie?

@@saphireblue3563 Baz Luhrmann's 2022 epic biopic simply titled "ELVIS". It's about 3 hours long and those 3 hours zoom by so quickly you'll be surprised. Austin Butler ate, drank and slept all things Elvis for about 3 years in order to play the role of Elvis. And, man, did he succeed. Deserved an Oscar.

Dr Nick was a scapegoat for a lot of people. Pushing the narrative that Elvis was abusing drugs - to cover up for themselves. It has been proven in the years since, that Elvis had very serious health reasons for all the medicine he was prescribed. Also, prescriptions were ordered in advance of long tours (in the states where his doctors had licenses to practice) to be carried on tour - for the entire group of musicians, orchestra and singers. I was in the music business then. That’s how it was done in those days.

@@emerald1805besides, if Dr Nick said no to Elvis, he’d go to LA or Vegas to another doctor who’d say yes. Dr Nick did the best he could under the circumstances.

@@tammyjackson3113 I blame Elvis for making those bad choices, he did not need all that medication. I also blame Dr. Nick and any other doctor who gave him all that medication. They broke their oath of office. They may have warned Elvis about taking so much or mixing them but in the end they kept giving them to him knowing it wasn’t good for him and the reason they did was because he paid them a lot of money and they were living in the lap of luxury and in the limelight because of who Elvis was, they got to be mini famous just for being part of Elvis group and they didn’t want all that to end so they compromised their principles and integrity to keep their cushy lifestyle that they had become accustomed to and wanted to keep at the expense of Elvis health. And the excuse that Elvis could just get some other doctor to give him the medicine is just that an excuse. Doesn’t matter if someone else would have given him the medicine. Dr. Nick still broke the law and broke his doctors motto to do no harm and all in all threw his integrity and morals out the window by giving Elvis the meds. And again he gave them to Elvis because he wanted to stay in his good graces and on his lucrative payroll and that’s what makes it even worse. It wasn’t love for Elvis that made him give him the meds, it was love of self and what Elvis could do for him and that’s one of many reasons Dr. Nick and others were wrong for giving him meds. As much as I love Elvis and hate to say this, in the end Elvis could have said no, should have said no at any time to the meds. He could have checked himself into the hospital for help to get off the meds but he didn’t. I still love Elvis and his music and generosity to others. He was an imperfect person as we all are but it doesn’t give any of us an excuse or pass in culpability when it comes to breaking the law, using meds we know we shouldn’t have or should not be taking and dying because of it. Elvis is to blame for the choices he made and the awkward position he put his friends and Dr. Nick in by asking and demanding they get/give him those meds which he knew was wrong and illegal. With all that being said, I’m a die hard Elvis fan still to this day. He was a talent on so many levels and like no other. We knew it then and know it now that no other entertainer will ever match Elvis on every level. He had God given talent and I cried the day I heard he had died, it was devastating news. Unless you lived then, I don’t think people quite understand what a world presence Elvis had at a time when tv was still fairly new, there was no internet to send his music and image all over the world and yet he was known all over the world which was a feat especially back then. People don’t realize the world mourning him like a President but more so. Everyone knew that someone truly special and unique, never to be duplicated again and loved had died and that’s why it was so devastating and shocking. It was unbelievable to us that Elvis could be dead but yet he was. It was a blow to everyone no matter your age. I was 9 years old at the time he died but I remember it like yesterday. I was at home when it was announced that Elvis had died and I couldn’t believe it but other media was also reporting he had died and I started crying and my mom was just quiet and still like she couldn’t take the news in. The fact that Elvis is still loved and mourned almost 50 years after his death I think speaks volumes as to his huge impact on people and the music industry during his relatively short life. I can’t think of another entertainer/political figure/celebrity that is still just as loved and still mourned 50 years after their death. He was special! RIP Elvis.🎶❤️

What a lot of BS. He had medicinal problems that were no one fault. Your full of BS. He had sleeping problems his whole life, Glaucoma, Fluid problems because of his heart and his heart. This crap that he fell apart and that people cover their own butt is crap. He had problems and probably was never born to grow old. So tell me: did Marty Robins cause his health problems too? Were Glady and Lisa to blame for their health problems too? Cut the BS. Elvis had health issues that were inherited and part of life , he was just young at 42.

But it does reveal the greatest cause of his downfall and misery... Tom Parker (he was never a Colonel). And for that reason I do recommend the movie to those who know nothing about Elvis, even though I didn't like it myself. (Well by the third time I watched it, it grew on me. First time I hated it.)

I HIGHLY recommend the movie, and feel it DOES depict, very much, how things were!!!

You are a close participant to this historic event.

I was in freer tx. Sitting in my dad’s car because he would let me drive it to the 7-11. It came on the radio and the WORLD stood still. I kid you, not. The world stopped turning for a few moments. I’d never lived in a world without Elvis. It was profound and took years to accept.

Well, yes. And then again... no!
