While heading home from West Virginia last night I tuned in an "oldies" radio station. They were doing a special on Elvis and having other artists relate experiences they had had with him. Alice Cooper gave a monologue on a meeting that he had with the man in a hotel room somewhere.....
E:"So, you're the guy with the snake huh?"
Alice:"Yeah, that's me."
E:"Uh-huh. Listen, I'm gonna show you how to take a gun outta somebodies hand. Take this."
Alice looks at the loaded .38 in his hand, looks back at the King and relates...."Next thing I know WHAM! Elvis has the gun and I'm on the ground with a boot in my throat."
I got a good chuckle out of the visual that popped into my head. Alice Cooper lying on the floor, mascara running and a dazed and confused look on his face.
