Was Elvis The Second Coming?

[Confused Ape]

Elvis used the shoes for his daily walk on water.

I'm afraid that somebody has beaten us to it where loony humour is concerned.

The Two Kings Elvis And Jesus

In perusing Elvis' biography "If I Can Dream" by his hairdresser-cum-spiritual adviser Larry Geller, I stumbled across the following conversation:

Elvis begins: "Think back when I had that experience in the desert. I didn't only see Jesus' picture in the clouds -- Jesus Christ literally exploded in me. Larry, it was me. I was Christ... I thought I might be him. I really thought I was singled out, not only to be Elvis, but ah.. " "Elvis," [Geller] said calmly, "are you trying to say you thought you were Jesus Christ?" Elvis, with visible relief, grinned.

I shook my head in disbelief. Was Elvis really that out to lunch? If he was going to compare himself to a religious figure, why not try Buddha? At least they had the same body type. But, as I read further, as I dug deeper and deeper into Elvis lore, I began to notice bizarre affinities, strange parallels -- inexplicable similarities between the King of Rock 'n' Roll and the King of the Jews. At first they came to me slowly, but soon they were jumping off the pages. Coincidences? Perhaps?

From the list of co-incidences -

Jesus walked on water (Matthew 14:25).
Elvis surfed (Blue Hawaii, Paramount, 1965).
