Apparently, the somewhat slimy character that Elvis played in “Jailhouse Rock” influenced Elvis to let out his dark side, bringing out his overlordship over his entourage. This excerpt brings out one example of this.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
[Elvis] got to smoking those stubby little cigars and if nobody didn’t light it for him straightaway, he would sit there and he would seethe. Then finally he would blow up and yell, “Am I going to sit here all day with this dry motherfucker in my mouth with nobody lighting it for me? If I am, then you can all get your asses out of here.”
