Elvis posing with fans may 2 1977 Chicago

Maybe so but he looks stoned in that pic.

How in the world can you determine that? It's a still photo... What in the still picture posted above gives you any indication that Elvis is "stoned" as you stated?

That he looks stoned? The look in his eyes plus the information (as noted by elvisjock) about his drug intake at this stage of his life.

The comment by elvisjock is well taken..., it could be argued that Grob and definately Stanley behind Elvis look worse than he does. Pictures can be decieving.

By May of '77 Elvis was on heavy-duty narcotics of some type daily, whether on tour or at home. He couldn't function without them, at that point.

My earlier comment simply noted the contradiction between his lifestyle and the badge displayed on his chest.

Dude, there are plenty of pics of him in 1977 driving. and he looks perfectly fine. he was not heavily medicated 24/7. was he taking? yes. But he was not a freaking drugged up zombie 24/7

Dude, I can't speak for whether or not he was "stoned" in this photo. What I do know is that he had a vicious prescription drug dependency at the time. And, he was showing off a badge from the United States Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

He was very pretty good at functioning while under the influence of a cocktail of pharmaceuticals. He could sing. He could drive a car.

Nice photo for 1977. Is the fan on the left side a male or female?

Who the chinaman on the left ?
