Elvis is, to many, the new Jesus. He is the replacement who is more
rational, and after a few hundred years it will likely be said that he
was resurrected after being crucified cruelly on a giant electric
guitar and forced to take drugs.
There will always be kooky people who are just weird enough to write a
giant, poorly organized story book about this.
