Wasn't Elvis drunk or on drugs when he said that? I think he was, and that he was so disgusted with his own behavior, he sought treatment shortly after this incident and has been alcohol/drug free ever since. If I am wrong, I am sure someone else has the facts. Also, I am pretty sure he said "jive-ass," not "blind ignorant." Or maybe he said both. --Bob
