Elvis: "A Day in the Life"                                                                                                                                March 1, 1965, (Monday)

Graceland, 3764 Highway 51 South, Memphis, Tennessee.

 

 

This appeared to be the approximate date of the thoughtful interview with James D. Kingsley a Memphis reporter who

had earned Elvis' trust. Because of this he mused at length about how far he had come and what it all meant. "I know what

it is to scratch and fight for what you want," he declared in a story that appeared in the first issue of Mid-South the

following Sunday with some of the first pictures ever officially permitted inside Graceland. "I certainly haven't lost my respect for my fans," he says. "I withdraw not from my fans but from myself."

In the course of the trip to Los Angeles Elvis confided to Larry Geller his disappointment that, after all of his study and meditation, he had no "experience of God." It was shortly after this conversation that Elvis stopped the motor home in the middle of the desert as he saw a cloud formation that resembled the face of Joseph Stalin, then turned into the face of Jesus.
