I thought I'd read many decades ago, that Graceland, the King's domicile, was tacky, kitschy, etc.
Talking to someone who'd been there in the last – five years, maybe – they said it was nothing of the sort.
Now, more often than not, I'm able to take them at their word.
But given some events over the last few years, now — not so much.
I'm wondering if I got it wrong, or if their take is whack.
One adjective I seemed to recall being used was opulent.
For all I know that meant he died on a golden toilet.
Anyway, it's just an idle First World Wondering.
