Interesting that you chose the Elvis picture, because he had his own private jail... safe from fans, free to indulge in jaybird behaviors (although prisoners don't get peanut butter-banana sandwiches). Was wondering whether you got that connection when you chose the pic... This is an allegory for all of us. Wonderful writing, Hank.
