Elvis Presley's Last Concert



This performance still, after all these years, gives me chills. Elvis died at age 42, not long after this performance. I never met him, or even heard him perform live, but he changed my life, as well as so many others'.

May he rest in peace. A white man who understood the plight of black men, and who sang about it from the depths of his soul. Had he lived until this year, even as an old man, I know which candidate he would have endorsed.

And that, my friends, is what is beautiful about America! Si Se Puede! The King would have endorsed Barack Obama as out next President of the United States of America.
