If I were a kid, I would have been ripshit about this hillbilly goofball preempting my Battlestar Galactica.
And the show’s gonna be on at a weird time next week because of Roots?
What the fuck is Roots?

John Carpenter directed this bullshit.

Couple years ago, they made a film about Elvis meeting Nixon.
(There was also a movie about Frost meeting Nixon. The Frost/Nixon movie came out first, but Elvis met Nixon in real life first. These are vital facts I’m sharing with you, and it’s necessary that you know them.)

-“Bringing A Legend To Life” Featurette With Archival Interviews Of Kurt Russell And John Carpenter (1979)
-Commentary By “The Voice Of Elvis” Ronnie McDowell And Author Edie Hand
-Rare Clips From “American Bandstand”

That looks really cool. Bought a double live record yesterday of Elvis in Hawaii beamed by satellite. Elvis was a cool guy.
