In 1970, Elvis Presley went to the White House on a whim to request a meeting with the President; his intention: to become an honorary Federal Agent. This is a brief history of what took place. It still is bitterly ironic and will remain as a historical fact that the King of Rock 'n' Roll, prescribed on more than 14 drugs at the time of his death, was suggested by Nixon to use an anti-drug theme in his songs. The whole of the Nixon presidency can be wrapped up into three words 'war on drugs.' Elvis, dulled down by the military, and Nixon charged with energy by the Presidential campaign, were desperate to win over America. | Elvis Meets Nixon by Dylan Stance, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
