"The Angels all love him, he brings them relief with droplets of moisture from his handkerchief! Cher'bim 'n ser'phim whizz over his head - Jesus, let him come back! We don't want Elvis dead! So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat? He knows we all love him - We'll just watch him eat, so take down the foil from his hotel retreat, and bring back The King for the man in the street! Elvis has just left the building - Those are his footprints, right there. Elvis has just left the building -He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair."
Frank Zappa

Didn't know that Frank was a fan. Thanks!
That's sad - the photo looks more like John Belushi than Elvis.
Oh man, good to see John Cale's amazing version of Heartbreak Hotel getting some love.
El Vez is worth looking into, on that theme. He does Latino-politik versions of Elvis songs. "In The Ghetto" becomes "En El Barrio", for instance. Some of them are actually good.
