In the summer of 1977, Elvis Presley — bloated, heavily medicated, and visibly deteriorating beyond any reasonable point of stage fitness — was repeatedly pushed in front of paying audiences by a management machine so financially dependent on his name that it had long since stopped seeing a human being and started seeing only a revenue stream with a heartbeat. Night after night, Colonel Tom Parker and the surrounding industry apparatus collected ticket money while Elvis shuffled across stages in a pharmaceutical fog, forgetting lyrics, slurring speeches, and displaying symptoms so alarming that audience members openly wept while others photographed his decay like spectators at a freak show. Eight weeks after his final performance, on August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley's heart finally surrendered under the catastrophic physical burden of years of prescription drug abuse, neglect, and an entertainment machine that had consumed every last drop of a man it had spent two decades treating not as a human being but as the world's most profitable product.
