This was indeed a momentous historical meeting. On this date in 1970, Elvis Presley met with President Richard Nixon to discuss the war on drugs. He wanted to help, and this is how he finally got his credentials from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs because of this meeting. It is rumored that he had ulterior motives. According to his former wife, Priscilla, he believed that “with the federal narcotics badge, he could legally enter any country both wearing guns and carrying any drugs he wished.”
“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.”
— Franz Kafka
