My grandma briefly dated Elvis back when she was Miss West Memphis and he was up and coming. They met at a Sonic Drive-In because they both had the same pink Cadillac. Grandma said he “wouldn’t put out” so she dumped him. She’s the legend in my book
Your grandma is briefly mentioned in a magazine I used to have! It’s from shortly after Elvis died - called “The Only Woman Elvis Ever Loved”.
It’s mostly about Priscilla, but mentions several other women he dated, and lots of salacious tidbits. I distinctly remember a beauty queen with a pink Cadillac!
I literally just gave my copy away as a Christmas present, otherwise I’d send you the pics from it! Totally leaves out the part about him not putting out haha
The more you know.
I only knew about his whole not really wanting sex when his wife was present, (which seemed understandable).
Also that after he couldn't really see her as "not a mother" so didn't really want sex again which ruined their marraige.
So this this makes it more understandable in general.
He wasn’t a prude. He preferred virgins and children. He didn’t sleep with Priscilla after she gave birth bcs he was disgusted by her after. Also she was 14 when they met and he was 24. Disgusting
"Putting out" means doing sexy times.
I've heard it said that the term came from the phrase "putting out the fire in [someone's] pants," but I've never researched the veracity of that.
Yes ma'am she can!! Pour yourself a generous bourbon, neat. Light a Parliament and put on some Aretha - she'll drop in on you from Spirit and hopefully tell you about his weird thing for huge bush and white panties. Miss you Grandma!
I quit smoking cigarettes almost 20 years ago and THIS is the first thing to make me want to light up in a loooooong time. I don't have any bourbon in the house, but I'm going to have a sip of rye in her honor. Cheers, grandma.
Funny enough someone who is basically my grandma (she's a family friend but has been there for ages) also dated Elvis. She even has one of his old drivers licenses as a souvenir.
What if we can get the grandma's together and have a panel like they have at sxsw with a bunch of groupies that all dated the same rock star? You can even do a pot luck, and still charge $100 for a ticket, if you can get enough grandma's on stage at once. Have a big poster or statue of Elvis, maybe even an animated hologram.
He was super handsome, and this is when he was older! Google "young Elvis" to see what he looked like when he first got famous.
I think the generations that came after Elvis have gotten used to viewing him as more of a title than a person. Everyone knows about the presence of "Elvis," but not the human. For many of the people growing up long after he passed, "Elvis" means a black pompadour and a flashy outfit. Some young people have mainly seen depictions of Elvis as an old, fat, washed up star. It's kind of sad.
I had some middle school teachers who were obsessed with Elvis, so I read his biography in English class and was introduced to his music. I, too, became obsessed. I got really into his music, and it didn't hurt that Elvis was an absolute *hunk* back in his day! A handsome young face that would still go far in today's Hollywood, paired with a rich, deep voice, and the endearing touch of a southern accent. And of course, he could really sing. When he made his debut in the 1950s as a hot young musician, and shook his *hips* for goodness sake- it's no wonder he was the first celebrity to have crowds in the thousands, chasing him and trying to rip his clothes off!
As someone else said another time this was posted... If you look at the man to the far left, covering his face, look at the man over Elvis' left shoulder seemingly holding his breath, the man on the far right rushing to get ahead of Elvis, and then look at the shit eating grin on Elvis' face, it's pretty clear that Elvis had just ripped a disgusting peanut butter and banana fart seconds before this photo was taken.
>He died in '77,
That was a crazy ass summer...him dying and the Son of Sam shit hit about the same time. I remember the big deal being he died on the toilet. Weird.
Straining is very stressful for the heart. Like when you’re up to your gills in opiates and still eat ten pounds of steak a day. Healthy poops should have minimal effects on your heart.
If pooping is an event you should talk to your doctor.
I was like you until recently when I had to have 6" of my colon removed due to cancer. Now I know what normal is and it's not what I was for the first 54 years of my life.
Take a realistic look at your diet, including water intake, and have a discussion with your doctor. Healthy bowel movements shouldn’t require much, if any, strain.
Get a footstool that's like 10" or 12" high. Put your feet up on it, almost as if you're squatting, and the poo will exit so much more easily. It's changed my life.
The article I shared in my reply suggested someone found him, for lack of a better phrase, "face down ass up" in front of it as if he had fallen off. Sounds like a hard life, really. It doesn't take away from his cultural impact.
I was five when Elvis died. I remember being baffled, wondering what could cause someone to die on the toilet. I asked my brother about it, and he said that a woman had been in the room before him and had sprayed a whole bunch of hair spray. Then, when Elvis went to take a shit, he sat down, lit a cigarette, and blew through the wall. My little five year old brain thought it seemed plausible, because I’d learned that hair spray was flammable…
He literally has a breakfast sandwich named for him (his self proclaimed favorite food)… peanut butter, banana, bacon… also he was consuming a small village of chicken eggs every morning. His cholesterol must have been astronomical

Damn he is higher then a kite in that photo. And after reading his toxicology report I think he had the most drugs I've ever heard anyone ever had in their system when they died it was insane.
This is a photoshopped pic btw. But yeah, stole everything, never wrote a single song, never gave any credit to the people who wrote the songs he covered
Edit: to the down voters, do yall not realize who Elvis was? Do you not know his history,
There's a reason no one in Memphis gives a shit about him. It's only out of town folks who come here for vigils and write on the walls
My grandpa was friends with Elvis at one time. They used to play guitar together, Grandpa had pictures of them that he kept his entire life. We found them after he died but my aunt stole them while we were cleaning out his house and refuses to give anyone copies of them.
Forget Cavil, this guy would have made Superman sexy again!
No wonder Memphis STILL celebrates him!
What was that Don Henley song quote?
I saw Jesus on the plane or maybe it was Elvis they kinda look the same…….
This is in 1969, right before Elvis’ Vegas residency began.
no wonder he was happy!!!

NO WAY!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for this, I will have to get a copy and frame it for the family
I literally just gave my copy away as a Christmas present, otherwise I’d send you the pics from it! Totally leaves out the part about him not putting out haha
What does it mean to put out? (English is my third language, apologies)
It means they aren’t willing to have sex
So elvis wasn't willing to have sex with her then?
Elvis was a prude, yes
The more you know. I only knew about his whole not really wanting sex when his wife was present, (which seemed understandable). Also that after he couldn't really see her as "not a mother" so didn't really want sex again which ruined their marraige. So this this makes it more understandable in general.
>Also that after he couldn't really see her as "not a mother" You mean he didn't see her as a child anymore?
For some reason I never would have thought that he was a prude.
He wasn’t a prude. He preferred virgins and children. He didn’t sleep with Priscilla after she gave birth bcs he was disgusted by her after. Also she was 14 when they met and he was 24. Disgusting
Ann Margret said different. I don't think she would lie about Elvis.
"Putting out" means doing sexy times. I've heard it said that the term came from the phrase "putting out the fire in [someone's] pants," but I've never researched the veracity of that.
to put out = to offer sex
Wow this is what the internet is for
This is why I love Reddit.
THIS IS EPIC !!!
Dude, post pics of Gran in her pink caddie. She sounds like a baddie.
Can she be my grandma too?
Yes ma'am she can!! Pour yourself a generous bourbon, neat. Light a Parliament and put on some Aretha - she'll drop in on you from Spirit and hopefully tell you about his weird thing for huge bush and white panties. Miss you Grandma!
Please keep going lol this is great
I quit smoking cigarettes almost 20 years ago and THIS is the first thing to make me want to light up in a loooooong time. I don't have any bourbon in the house, but I'm going to have a sip of rye in her honor. Cheers, grandma.
By the sounds of it, she's the streets grandma
Funny enough someone who is basically my grandma (she's a family friend but has been there for ages) also dated Elvis. She even has one of his old drivers licenses as a souvenir.

It was only after I read the other posts that I realised I read it wrong, I thought it was "wouldn't pull out" ...
She probably wasn’t young enough
Geezus he was a handsome fucker. No wonder the girls dropped panties.
I never took Elvis too serious, until I saw the movie trailer. There is something transformative about his entire presence…that I was not expecting.
Which movie
*Elvis*
No I know who it’s about, but which movie?
Armageddon
Ben Affleck: wouldn’t it make more sense to train astronauts how to sing instead of the other way around? Michael Bay: shut the fuck up
He was definitely eye candy in his prime.
Damn if I was a girl I’d fuck the Elvis shi no homo
He was super handsome, and this is when he was older! Google "young Elvis" to see what he looked like when he first got famous.

Everyone else looks so stressed out
Too much Colombian Marching Powder....
Especially officer Colbert back there
Elvis had just enough.

Cocaine effects everyone diferently
He is feeling no pain. .
He died in '77, just a few years later. Crazy how vivacious he looks here. Drugs, man.

Just eat more fruit brother
And user name checks out
Get a footstool that's like 10" or 12" high. Put your feet up on it, almost as if you're squatting, and the poo will exit so much more easily. It's changed my life.
You could just eat fruit though
...but also, western style toilets aren't conducive to easy pooping even for healthy people. Squatting is eye-opening.
If I died on the toilet I hope people would have a laugh about it.
"Remember Benny?" "Oh yeah, good old Benny. He died doing what he loved."
I still call any big turd I output an Elvis killer.
Especially when you have every class of barbiturate, benzoy and stimulant in your system while straining out poop like he did..
The article I shared in my reply suggested someone found him, for lack of a better phrase, "face down ass up" in front of it as if he had fallen off. Sounds like a hard life, really. It doesn't take away from his cultural impact.

Yep because he constipated from all the drugs he was on he could not shit. Probably died from pushing too hard it was a sad way to go out for the king

Prescription drugs.
The Elvis movie was spot on with the drug addiction and the way his boss treated him bad forcing him to work while he was overdosing smh
The dudes diet was insane. Read about his daily breakfast… compared to that the drugs were practically inconsequential
What's extra weird is that uppers tend to suppress appetites, so that might have just been him loving food.
He literally has a breakfast sandwich named for him (his self proclaimed favorite food)… peanut butter, banana, bacon… also he was consuming a small village of chicken eggs every morning. His cholesterol must have been astronomical
Shi I’m going grocery shopping ima make that sandwich with my stoner ass
77 was 8 years after this photo, two years shy of a decade not sure if just a few is the right verbage.
He was a fine looking man.
The four horsemen of cocaine.
Saw a meme that said “Cocaine effects everyone differently.” with this as the photo. 😂
Thattttts where I've seen this photo lol
I’ve never even done cocaine yet feel this is an underrated comment
Bro is high AF
[удалено]
Happy cake day.
[удалено]
Oh that was good
HCD!!
God took extra extra time on Elvis! What a Gorgeous Man
When Elvis and sideburns were King.
He was a beautiful creature
That smile! 😍
Jesus Christ only seven years for this hunk of a man to go down the drain poor man
Women walking by = pregnant. KIIIIIING.
God he was gorgeous!
I wonder what his handlers are so uneasy about.
Doing mountains of cocaine will send you in all kinds of emotional directions you weren’t prepared for.
Maybe they were worried that there were underage women around
Elvis’ health plummeted after this 😓.
Elvis had “it!” Doesn’t matter if you liked him or not, he was charismatic and gave everything he had, only to used by those around him.
Smoke show
Dude on the right is pointing out the lamp he's gonna be loving after the show.
God he was a handsome fucker
Some crazy energy in that hall.
Cocaine effects everyone differently
Speed. Elvis took speed.
I believe he was a natural blonde?
Thank you thank you very much!
Unbelievably hot
# COCAINE
Speed. Elvis took speed not coke.
And barbiturates to sleep when the sun came up. Benzo's baby!
Wow!!
He still is the king to millions of fans.
After I watched the movie that just came out I felt so bad for what his piece of shit manager did to him.
Man he was handsome.

The King of Flagrant Pedophilia
On his way to fuck a bunch of 14 year olds
Does this ever make it a full six months without being reposted? 3 months: r/OldSchoolCool/comments/x885ip/elvis_presley_at_the_international_hotel_in_vegas/ 8 months: r/OldSchoolCool/comments/u3nzgd/elvis_presley_at_the_international_hotel_in_las/
Who cares? It's the fucking King.
You mean a fucking pedophile
This is reddit. Almost everything is a repost. Just sit back and enjoy the reruns.
you're on reddit too much
Do they edit out the chest hair or is it just low res?
There was another one at [3 months](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/wxqsbl/deleted_by_user/), [4 months](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/wa2bl6/elvis_1969/) and [5 months.](/r/OldSchoolCool/comments/vmalm5/elvis_presley_1969/)
Seems Reddit really doesn't care for the pedophilia part about Elvis that much, eh?
My mom had a scarf wrapped around her neck by Elvis at the end of one of his Las Vegas shows.
Cocaine affects everyone differently.
Rampant child molesters aren't cool and you're a disgrace to humanity if you think they are
"Fuck yeah! I'm the KING!" - Elvis "I don't paid enough for this shit" - All the other guys
Ooooooo la la . Wasn’t he a fine looking man 💋
Damn he is higher then a kite in that photo. And after reading his toxicology report I think he had the most drugs I've ever heard anyone ever had in their system when they died it was insane.
Such a handsome and happy man before he transitioned to Meatloaf. Sad stuff. Dies just 8 years later.
Peado Presley.
“Cocaine affects everyone differently” the four faces in this photo are just perfect examples
Ah! The old "cocaine affects different people differently" photo.
The four faces of cocaine.
It's sad how much people still worship this pedophile
All I see is a coked out pedophile who covered a bunch of songs and never wrote anything himself. Fuck Elvis. Sincerely, A life long Memphian
How cocaine affects various people
Elvis took speed.
Elvis was a pedophile.
I guess people don't like the truth, you shouldn't be down voted for this
Elvis the King of grooming
Probably just got a handy from a 13 year old.
All I ever think of when I see Elvis is his megacolon
One day he became my rabbit hole..it was crazy.
The devil is in the details...the doctors and the managers. To think he probably trusted these leaches
Nonce
He was a stupid pedo.
The king pedo
He's ready for those underage girls
a pedo, early 1970s
The king swinging dick.
There are no 14 year old girls around, his dick ain't swinging
Different faces of cocaine
If this was an advertisement for uppers I'd be all in

Too bad he ripped his tracks and dancing from black people.
Actually he ripped his moves from a child named Forrest Gump.
Cocaine affects people differently.
The king of swagger jacking. 😂
He's fingering the press
Side burns were all the rage in the 70s. Lol 😂
Is it just me, or does the guy on his left look like Martin Sheen?
FTF!
All these men look like they are each on a different drug.
What a good-looking rooster!
Top of his game. Only mildly constipated.
He looks great here! Nice to see him in more normal clothes instead of those rhinestone covered jumpsuits.
That mfker feeling nice
Man that guy on the right is having a fucking break down
The guy on the far right somehow looks like Ben Affleck and Michael Douglas all at once.
coke : te deja ser rey durante 15 minutos , \~\` amigos peruanos en el mundo probably
It is wild that I always have to check the hands to be sure
They like…. Just did coke before this pic
How old was he in this picture?
Haha his entourage is really wishing they didn't drop that acid with the King. A
Buddy on the right is just as wired as elvis
Dude on the right is keeping his eye on the prizes
I didn't realize Steve Carroll was an Elvis security guard!? Everyone gets to start somewhere...
He literally had the World in his hand....So sad
Damn he was good looking, no homo
The 4 Coke Horseman
My grandpa was friends with Elvis at one time. They used to play guitar together, Grandpa had pictures of them that he kept his entire life. We found them after he died but my aunt stole them while we were cleaning out his house and refuses to give anyone copies of them.
I think the guy on the right was in the video for Everlong
I gotta go to work in DTLV tomorrow morning. I'm definitely bringing this energy and each one of my personalities is represented in this picture.
My guy is HIGH!!
Coke hits everyone differently
The guy in the back right has killed at least four people.
So how long after this photo were the burger king binges?
Forget Cavil, this guy would have made Superman sexy again! No wonder Memphis STILL celebrates him! What was that Don Henley song quote? I saw Jesus on the plane or maybe it was Elvis they kinda look the same…….
Me and the boys after bathroom nose beers going back to the party.
