Recently unseen footage of Elvis was found, originating from a TV station in Fort Worth, TX. In the early hours of 11 January 1958 Elvis was on his way to Hollywood via train for the filming of his 4th film, King Creole. During a one hour lay over at the Fort Worth train station he stepped off to chat with fans and give autographs. Inside the train Elvis talked to news reporters.
He could have been asked ANYTHING about his upcoming induction into the army, but take a guess what became the topic of the day? His hair. Mindboggling.
Reporter: What do you think about jerks like the one in Kentucky who quit the draft board because you were given a 60-day deferment [for the filming of King Creole]?
Elvis: Mr. Hershey? Well, I'm just like him, I was expecting it.
Reporter: Would you rather be a lover or a fighter?
Elvis: It's just according to what the situation is, you know what I mean? Sometimes you'd have to be both.
Reporter: Do you mind cutting your sideburns as part of the army induction?
Elvis: No, they'll grow back. If it was a situation if they cut them off and I never could have any more then I would worry about them.
Reporter: The sideburns look shorter today. Have you worn them shorter than usual?
Elvis: Well, I wore them shorter than I use to, uh-huh.
Reporter: What's the reason for that, maybe?
Elvis: Well, I don't know...
