I don’t like thinking about him today. I don’t like remembering how sick he was, imagining how much pain he was in, wondering if he knew how little time he had left.
As somebody who believes in the great big beautiful beyond, it probably shouldn’t affect me as much as it does—I know he isn’t trapped in that breaking body anymore, or shackled to a world of stifled creativity—but the footage of those final concerts is just so sad.
He’s exhausted, he’s struggling to move and stumbles over some of the lyrics of fan-favorite songs…but then he smiles, and those eyes sparkle amidst his bloated face. His spirit, his love for his fans is still so alive…it makes me want to cry.
He legitimately gave us everything he had. He gave everyone everything he had. He deserved to go out with dignity, with compassion and all of that love returned in full.
Instead, ask any average Joe about Elvis, their first instinct is usually to make a joke about toilets and cheeseburgers.
How did we reach that point? How could the world he cared for so much, devoted so much of himself to it literally killed him, treat his legacy, his memory like this? Why was that passed down, instead of those beautiful eyes, that boyish smile, struggling to put on one last helluva show?
I don’t understand it. This world is so cold sometimes.
Elvis, I’m so sorry.

This is Elvis
This Is Elvis: The Lost Theme Song
With all of the hype surrounding Baz Luhrmann's upcoming biopic, ELVIS, many fans will fondly recall the first official movie of Elvis' life, 1981's This Is Elvis, which, for better of worse, is the benchmark against which all subsequent attempts are measured.
One of the well-known names involved with This Is Elvis was Jerry Schilling, who was hired as a Consultant on the film.
As most fans know, Jerry was a long-term friend of Elvis, having met him in 1954, when, as a 12-year old, he wandered into one of Elvis' pickup football games at Guthrie Park in Memphis. That was the start of a friendship that lasted throughout Elvis' life and since 1977 he has been involved with many Elvis-related projects including Heartbreak Hotel, Elvis And Me, Elvis: The Great Performances, Elvis: The Lost Performances, Elvis In Hollywood, Elvis By The Presleys, Elvis & Nixon, and Elvis Presley: The Searcher. For a time he was also a Director of Elvis Presley Enterprises. However, Schilling's experience in the entertainment industry extends beyond Elvis, and he has been involved in a number of capacities, including managing acts as diverse as Billy Joel, Jerry Lee Lewis, and The Beach Boys.
Beach Boys, Dennis and Carl Wilson with Myrna Smith - 1981
In a recent interview with David Beard for Endless Summer Quarterly (a publication dedicated to The Beach Boys), Jerry explained that in the fall of 1980...
"I was looking for a theme song (for This Is Elvis). Carl and Myrna were up at Caribou Ranch (a recording studio in Colorado)��working on his first solo album. I went up to Caribou just to check out how everything was going and because I was doing the film at the same time, I said 'I'm looking for a theme song for a project that's titled This Is Elvis. If you guys have any ideas and want to do a demo, we might use it'. So, Myrna wrote the lyrics, Carl wrote the music, and the two of them recorded a demo (however, in the end) Warner Brothers' publicity department felt the title track should be an Elvis song."
The track was then all-but forgotten. However, as Jerry continues...
"in 2014, Billy Hinsche (one third of the 1960's group Dino, Desi & Billy, and later a keyboardist for the The Beach Boys backing band, and one-time brother-in-law of Carl Wilson) called me and said 'Jerry, do you know about this song that Carl and Myrna did called This Is Elvis?. I said 'No.' I had completely forgotten about it. He said 'Well, I have a copy, and it's your voice at the end saying 'That was it!'. I said 'Send it to me Billy.' Once I heard it, I remembered the whole story, and it tells who Elvis was - the lyrics and the music. It's simple, it's sweet, and it's deep. It's emotional to talk about it because all three of these people - who were so close to me in my life - are all gone. (Elvis passed away in 1977, Carl in 1998, and Myrna in 2010), But boy, this is a great piece of all of their music left behind honouring Elvis and done by Carl and Myrna."
The song was eventually released in 2015, with proceeds from the sale going to the Carl Wilson Foundation (Carl had died from cancer, with one of the Foundation's aims being to raise funds for cancer research).
Listen to Myrna sing 'This is Elvis'
