Stop the Feeding Off Elvis

“The Elvis Conspiracy,” shown locally Jan. 22, repeated rumors that Elvis Presley may be alive . . . perhaps as a ward of the Federal Witness Protection Program. Is there no end to the number of people trying to feed off this man’s legacy?

For several years, I worked closely with Elvis as his opening act and friend. I gave the eulogy at his funeral. I saw the body in the casket. I can never forget their faces as Priscilla told her young daughter that “Daddy died . . . he’s gone to be with God.”

Now my heart goes out to them again. “Elvis Conspiracy” host Bill Bixby and executive producers Bill Speckin and Mel Bergman are denying the Presleys what every person has a right to expect: simple human decency.

Enough is enough.
