Sad story.



The other day I decided to do a little research on The King. That's right, as in Elvis the King. After reading about his life and death, I had a newfound love for this lost, lonely man. And I found out that surprisingly, I love the song Suspicious Minds.
However, I ran across this video where the poor man, near the end of his life, forgets the words on stage and it really made me shake my head. No one gets to this point alone and I wonder what was done to help him out of this sad state of self destruction. I wonder if anyone tried or if everyone was so financially committed to his continuing on in any condition that they just let him ride it out. What a waste. It makes me think that when we see someone so obviously dying, we need to speak up. Loudly.
Cheers to recovery and the process it takes to get there.
