I don’t love that you jumped to listing a bunch of terrible things you projected onto him. Famous dude like that probably did, but listing making out with an underage groupie as if it were just a cheeky thing is kind of awful.
I looked it up and apparently the photo is backstage at the International Hotel in 1969.
In 1973 he was apparently hospitalized for an addiction to pethidine (I had to look it up- Demerol) and when he died, they found several drugs in his system, so my guess is drugs.
Being dangerously close to the truth is a hallmark of certain kinds of humour. I appreciate it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Most days it isn’t mine either.
He died of drugs. Priscilla was 14 when she met Elvis. Lots of bands do unspeakable things with groupies. I am deliberately not connecting any dots there.
The dog thing, I have no idea where I got that. Probably one too many cartoons as a kid or exposure to horror tropes because I’d be horrified if someone did that for real.
