When The King Met The Prez

nixon was the first president i remember. elvis was the first rock n’ roller i knew about. i became aware of both of them in the 1970’s. however, the first time i saw this photo was in the early 90’s, and it kinda blew my mind. the story goes that elvis wrote a letter to the president expressing “concern for the country” because of the drug culture, hippie elements, black panthers, etc. nixon met with elvis because he was trying to win over america’s young people. two weeks ago i found out someone actually made a movie about this occasion.
