“You have no idea how great he is, really you don’t. You have no comprehension,it’s absolutely impossible. I can’t tell you why he’s so great, but he is. He’s sensational ”
- Phil Spector
could never be me
i would've been laid out on that stage...at his feet offering up all my worldly possessions
my mind my body my soul
they would've had to call the undertaker to come collect
my smiling corpse from that stage ⊰

Elvis and I? We were real friends. Back when both our careers were just getting started, someone asked Elvis if there were any male singers he liked. He said, “Pat Boone. Pat Boone is the best ballad singer of ‘em all.” That meant the world to me.
When he came by our house on Sundays, with the whole Boone family out by the pool, he wasn’t Elvis the superstar. He was just a friend. And I think, deep down, he wanted a little of the quiet family life he saw in our backyard.
I never envied Elvis. I loved him. And I’ll always be grateful for his friendship.
