Elvis Quote by Colonel Tom Parker
“Elvis and me, we go three or four days sometimes without talking to each other. Sometimes even a week. I see Elvis, perhaps run into him. and we say 'Hi' and pass without another word. We have an understanding that is hard for some folks to comprehend. We say a lot to each other with a look.”
