Summary
The year is 1970, and Elvis Presley is a has-been; a nobody; a flash in the pan. Once he joined the army, his name faded into obscurity and he fell on hard times. Now he’s nothing more than a local myth, a hobo living in a homeless community in Memphis just south of the railroad tracks. He gets along by trading favors, scrounging for food, jumping railways and living in backwoods homeless camps, having all but turned his back on his past. But things start to change when he meets Evie, a teenage girl who discovers that he still has all of the charm and talent that he was once known for. Will Elvis find his way back into society’s graces, or will he be forever stuck with the life he’s chosen?

Summary
Elvis is starting his April 1972 tour, the same one featured in the movie "Elvis On Tour." He calls you to join him for a wild ride of 15 cities in 15 days. The usual shenanigans ensue and of course some of Elvis's inner demons will need to come up to rear their heads from time to time.
Each chapter will roughly correspond to one day of the tour. For much of the story "you" are Samantha, Elvis's girl for the tour. But we'll see some shifting POV to keep things fun and those will be announced in the chapter notes when they come.
I'll also post audio links to the relevant shows at the start of each chapter (where available) if you want to follow along.
Thank you for reading!

Summary
A stream-of-consciousness piece where you are Jerry, circa 1971, contemplating your long-lasting relationship with Elvis as he gets ready to go onstage.
Inspired by a story in Jerry Schilling's book where he recounts the karate-like stance that he and Elvis would take before shows to pump themselves up.
Mostly based in reality, but some things may be factually inaccurate.
