There was a misconception about me when I started off because I had my hair greased up and I have some vague resemblance to the hillbilly gene pool that Elvis came from. People would say, 'You want to be Elvis' and I would say, 'No'.
I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.
Never underestimate the power of the State to act out its own massive fantasies.
