  1. I can't believe you people are saluting Tom Parker. The man cheated and exploited Elvis. All those dates in Vegas that Parker booked were because of his gambling debts. Check your facts and cancel this tribute. He wasn't a legend. He was a criminal. This is like the Wall Street Hall of Fame saluting Bernie Madoff.
