Would love to talk to him about the deep aspects of life and the vast possibilities of the cosmos. Maybe we'd solve the mysteries of the Universe. But he'd probably take a break and die in the restroom.

The greatest entertainer who has ever lived. He had a fantastic voice, beautiful looks, and was indeed a great man who gave so much to others.
No one will ever equal him. He broke all attendance records and sold a billion records. Elvis, the king.
