"In the note to Nixon, Presley requested a presidential audience and expressed his desire to become a federal agent at large to combat drug abuse in America. A hastily arranged meeting was granted, and the King arrived in appropriately royal garb—a purple velvet cape—carrying a Colt .45 revolver as a gift for Nixon."

"The two men talked about drug policy, and the president nodded in agreement as Presley badmouthed the Beatles as anti-American. Before leaving, according to a White House memo, Presley, “in a surprising, spontaneous gesture, put his left arm around the President and hugged him.” That afternoon, Presley, who died of a drug overdose in 1977, received a badge from the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs."

I guess it's supposed to spread less germs but I still like a good solid handshake vs a fist bump and this hard headed old man won't bump.......been awkward a few times me with my hand out and the other fella with his fist out and most generally the other fella concedes or we just part ways without doing either.

Wow! Do you know how long it's been since I've seen anyone shake hands?
When I was working, I'd go up to people and shake their hand and they looked astonished!
How I wish we could bring back this custom!
