(The #1 most requested image from the Library of Congress' photographic collections.) The King of Rock and Roll. Elvis's first gig in LasVegas was at the Venus Room. Possible connection to the NakedGoddess? I also like that Elvis, on his visit to Las Vegas, was billed as "the atomic-powered singer" by the Colonel. Elvis may have been the King, but when push came to shove he showed he was only in it to serve America. First he joined the Army, becoming a common man. Then, on December 20th 1970, he met with PresidentNixon and volunteered his services to his country. "Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help the country out. I have no concerns or motives other than helping the country out. So I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position." The Kingkiller looks a lot like Elvis, in reverse.
