I think you're straying from gospel. Elvis was a big fan of Big Pharma.

You should consider setting up altars in local pharmacies.

Big Pharma was the Judas to Elvis' Jesus!

I can't let you drop a bomb like that and just leave.

Details, please! What bad things did he say about Elvis?

I didn't think it was a "bomb", just a guy I knew. He played with Elvis in the mid 70's.

His negative comments revolved around Elvis' drug use at the time and the trouble they had getting him onstage for a concert. I guess when he was "under the influence" (which was most of the time), he was a bit nasty to people. I think Elvis may have let the fame go to his head by this time.

My friend said that it was a great gig, money wise, but no fun being around Elvis most of the time.

Maybe this Zeezrom never had a predisposed affinity or bias toward Greek art and mythology. It sounds like you are suggesting a bias is necessary for this experiment to bear fruit.

Is this how we should remember and worship him? Looking a little like the happy, fat Buddha?

I recently watched the movie "Immortals" and for a brief moment I connected with Zeez's love for Pallas Athena. Then she was taken out by some poorly rendered zombie/titans.

Well, today is the day. I'm going to try my first prayer to Elvis whilst on the throne. Wish me luck!
