November 23, 1976 at precisely 2:50am Jerry Lee Lewis pulled up to Graceland in a new Lincoln Continental. Lewis was armed, angry, and obviously inebriated -- a dangerous combination for a man mere mortals call "The Killer."
"He was outta his mind, man," recalled Graceland gatekeeper Harold Loyd. "Jerry Lee was screamin', hollerin', and cussin'. "Get on the goddamn phone. I know you got an intercom system. Call up there and tell Elvis I wanna visit with him. Who the hell does he think he is? Tell him the Killer's here to see him."
Police Officer Kirkpatrick had to pull him outta the car. Jerry Lee had tried to hide his pistol by puttin' it in between his knee and the door. But when Kirkpatrick opened the door, the damn gun fell out onto the floorboard and it was cocked and loaded.
