WEIRD MOMENTS IN ROCK HISTORY: Elvis Meets Nixon.
December 21, 1970- Elvis secretly drops by the Oval Office. He gives Nixon a gun as a gift and Nixon gives him the honorary title of “Federal Agent At-Large” for the Bureau of Narcotics (irony!!). They discuss how the Beatles were an evil influence on the nation’s youth and how maybe Elvis could help to end drug use among the hippie population (!?!). Then they say goodbye. You can’t make this stuff up.
