Elvis 30th anniv. tribute thread
I was on the train alone going from Florence back to Rome and a young (though slightly older than me) American couple in the same compartment asked:
"Hey, did you hear that Elvis Presley died?"
"No."
"It happened a week ago."
"Oh."
I was very uncomfortably hungover from too much drinking the night before at The Red Garter, and then falling asleep on some curb [till daylight] with an even more drunk roommate of our group. I specifically left Florence as early as possible to avoid traveling back to Rome with the excessive chatter of the rest of our group.
