No Longer King: A Charlottesville, Va., woman who changed her name to Elvis Presley says she is no longer obsessed with a certain dead rock ‘n’ roll star but admits she still gets a bit teary-eyed if she hears him croon “My Way.” The former Lilly May Painter once listened to Elvis records eight hours a day. She had so many pictures of the singer on her bedroom wall, it looked like Elvis Presley wallpaper. She made the name switch legally 10 years ago at the peak of her Elvis obsession. But since a serious automobile accident a few years ago, her Elvis obsession has faded and she says the Lord is No. 1 in her life now.
