My great grandma said she went to high school with Elvis. I just now realize how cool that is

Elvis to many people now is a some sort of figure that was alive way before they ever were, but he would’ve “only” been 88 this year. He could totally still have been alive just based on age. Maybe he would have done a wired autocomplete interview.

Paul seems like such a nice guy, doesn't he?

[GraysonBunch-mp]

I'm 13 years old and I'm a huge elvis fan and I wish I could've seen this meeting

“The first remote television channel changer” i love how he described it

We didn’t get a remote control until the mid 70s so Elvis definitely had the latest gadgets.

Paul was shocked at remote television while my dad in 70s Vietnam was surprised that TVs existed in general

I read in a book 📖 that were 2 meetings, the first one went very bad because Elvis wasn't polite welcoming the Beatles and John Lennon told Elvis that themselves had lot of money too, etc.The second meeting went great, Elvis had a change of heart and was very charming.Paul, if you read this comment, please let me know if was true.☺️

Bonjour cher Paul ravie de vous voir et vous entendre parler d’Elvis merci 🤗💕

Paul is proof that Elvis would be alive today if he had did recreational drugs and not medical ones.

[blueberry]

Paul is very humble and one giant in music. I am an Elvis fan and a very big one...

[serge_plays]

Turning the Beatles into fanboys really says something 😂

[RafaelAlivtres]

Elvis was almost a God even for the Beatles!

[christa-lz]

He remembered, I had forgotten that we had to change the channel by hand. Not to bad, we had only 2 channels in the beginning.

[RS-rtjy]

He must be so sick of retelling all these stories all the time

[Joshua-lg]

What an awesome story! Things were alot different back in the day!🤘✌️

[levistubbs]
