My Affair With Elvis Presley

Rate: 2 Flag

I was never going to reveal this but the the time is now. I met Elvis at Ft Jackson, SC. I was in the Army and he was performing in a nearby town. Somehow I ended up backstage after the concert and Elvis noticed me. I was in uniform, a really ugly one at the time, but we were not permitted civilian clothes. I had won Soldier of the Month so I had a off post pass. He motioned me to approach him,so of course I did. He seemed really shy but invited me for a drink. One thing led to another and we quit drinking and got down to business. At the time I thought it was caused by the alcohol, but he could not perform. I told him that I had to leave because I had to get back to the post in time for 6:30 AM formation but he thought I was upset by his inability to have sex. My transportation at the time was the bus because we couldn't have cars on the post. He saw to it that a car took me back and dropped me off at the gate. He gave me a private phone number to reach him anytime when I was free to see him. I called him alot. We were never able to have sex. I really didn't care because he was such a good caring person. I really couldn't take gifts from him because I had no place to keep them. Taking money was also out of the question for me because I didn't want to cheapen our relationship. Maybe that is why he liked me because he realized I didn't want anything from him. After I finally gained some rank, I was able to see him more easily and for longer periods of time. He was a very unhappy man. We were friends for a really long time and then he suddenly died.

Well, this is a revelation. Glad you were able to be a friend to him. I wonder if you would have remained one if you did manage to have sex that night? What if's...

I think you should develop this, you kind of rushed through it.
I also wanted to add...it was very brave of you to reveal this, and I am really glad I had the chance to read it. I would love it if you could write about how it made you feel to be his friend, what caring things you remember.

Thanks for pointing me to the Elvis story. Wow. Like most of us I never had the chance to meet him but it was easy to sense the awesome charisma the man possessed. I also think Buffy W is right. That paragraph sounds like the synopsis of a book to me. If you care to reveal more of your relationship; the things you talked about and places you met you could have quite a story on your hands.

Thanks for the comment on my poem too.
This is hard. The saga of Elvis and you is still shrouded in anonymity. A blog???????! surely you have personal memories that you can share and many would WANT to know. Write a book!
Judie this is one heck of a story. i guess i should write about my night with Jimmy Carter. haha
No WAY! That's crazy! Tell me something... are you a known liar? If not, this is the coolest thing I've read all day. I agree with the others. MORE PLEASE! :)

Also, happy to make your acquaintance. Thank you for being my friend too :)
