Yes, Elvis!

We received from friends a bottle of wine from Graceland Cellars, with a picture of the King singing his heart out. Tayler studied this bottle for some time. The following exchange took place:

Tayler: Why is Elvis all sweaty?
Skippy: He's singing, and standing in the hot lights. It's really exhausting to perform like that.
Tayler: Elvis died from taking drugs.
Skippy: Yes, I know.
Tayler: He died from taking illegal drugs.
Skippy: Yes, I know.
< enter Tyler >
Tyler: Who died?
Skippy: Elvis Presley.
Tyler: How did he die?
Skippy: He died from taking illegal drugs.
Tyler: <excited >Oooh! That's how Elvis died!
Skippy: <exhausted >Yes, Elvis! Elvis Presley is exactly who we're talking about!
Tyler: Oh.

"On August 16, 1977 his fiancé Ginger Alden found Elvis dead in his bathroom. Officially, he died from "cardiac arrhythmia" - a euphemism for years of abuse of all sorts of prescription drugs, which, together with his unhealthy lifestyle, led to his premature death"
