This is an amusing little article from the Star Tribune.
There on the sidewalk outside the club lay Elvis, flopping around in the midst of an apparent seizure. Speeding away in a car a few feet away was John Belushi, decked out in “Blues Brothers” sunglasses and headed straight for the runway of the nearby Crystal airport.

Erkenbrack said he and another patrol officer raced to the VFW about 10:20 p.m. Monday to answer what they thought was a routine call about a man falling down some steps. When they arrived, Erkenbrack said, he found a man dressed like Elvis Presley, complete with pompadour and sideburns, sprawled on the ground.
Suddenly, Elvis “went into a huge convulsion,” Erkenbrack said. “I mean, he was like a foot off the ground.” And just as suddenly, the convulsions stopped, Elvis opened his eyes, shouted, “Viva Las Vegas!” and started singing Elvis tunes, Erkenbrack said.
“I had to like turn away,” he added. “I was laughing. And I knew there was something goofy here.”
At that point, a woman who had been bar hopping with Elvis and the Belushi look-alike approached Erkenbrack to tell him that “Belushi took my car” and was headed toward the Crystal airport next door.

Go to the article for the full story. But that really made my day.
Did you see the interview with Elvis on Channel 9 last night?
O M G :eek:
He spoke Elvis in the interview, complete with lip curl. Although when broke into song demonstrating what he did when managed to get out of the car- it wasn’t Viva Las Vegas. More of the “uh-uh uh-uh” in Blue Christmas (you know "uh-uh-uh-uh’ll have a bluuuueeee Christmas without you).
Makes me sad to actually reside in Crystal.
