Elvis Presley formed a bond with writer Johnny Lang while in the Army. Lang remembered the legendary musician for his big heart and being 'funny as hell.'
"I never met a celebrity in my whole life," Lang recalled."There’s Elvis, sitting down there like that, and I walk up to him, standing up and my heart's going like this. And I just stare at him. Presley stands with a group of young men at an induction center raising their right hands as they are sworn into the United States Army by an officer standing next to an American flag.
"We were combat training in a place called Grafenwöhr," Lang recalled. Presley had a"tank outfit" while Lang was in a"scout outfit," but they somehow reconnected. Lang remembered helping Presley fix his blanket because he wasn't feeling his best and said,"You take care. I know you’re not feeling good. I won't keep you up, but God bless you. I'll see you when that opportunity arrives again."
"You never know what he's going to do," Lang said."He says to me, he says, ‘Hey, Johnny, why don’t you and I become blood brothers?’""So, I go in the kitchen. I get a butter knife. Come in the living room. And I say, ‘OK, babe, I got you. And he says, ‘You do it first, and I’ll follow you,’ I said OK.
