Any photo of The King is a treasure, of course. But to have him with the President of the US in deferrance? Greatest humblage of all time. All hail The King! All hail Rock n' Roll!
God I love that picture. It's the most-requested image our government owns. Elvis went to visit Nixon to try and wrangle a DEA badge (Elvis was a collector), and managed to get himself appointed an honorary DEA agent (doubtlessly while hopped up on painkillers.) Nixon: "Why do you dress so funny?" Elvis: "Mr. President, I have my show and you have yours."
