Elvis and Nixon – 40 years on
Written by admin on December 21, 2010 – 9:13 am -| Today is the 40th anniversary of one of the more bizarre incidents in rock ‘n’ roll history. On December 21, 1970 Elvis Presley met President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office. The meeting was arranged in response to a handwritten letter that Elvis had delivered in person to the North West gate of the White House that morning. In the letter, Elvis expressed his desire to present a gift to the President and also to discuss the possibility of becoming a “Federal Agent at Large” in the war against drugs. |
