Listen "March 22nd in Elvis History"
Episode Synopsis
It's March 22nd, and on this day in 1957, Elvis Presley was involved in an unusual confrontation in downtown Memphis. While signing autographs for a group of young women, a young soldier named P.F.C. Hershel Nixon accused Elvis of having an affair with his wife months earlier. Despite Elvis's insistence that he knew nothing about the incident, Nixon became increasingly aggressive. When he pulled a gun on Elvis, the King of Rock and Roll responded by pulling a prop gun, famously saying, "You don't want to start trouble with me, do you? I'll blow your damn brains out, you punk." Nixon was arrested and fined, but later, Elvis decided not to press charges, telling reporters that the only harm done was to his ego.
