After Elvis had invited him, Jerry Lee Lewis shows up at Presley's Graceland mansion just before three o'clock in the morning, driving a brand new Lincoln Continental, which he accidentally rams into the famous front gates with the wrought-iron music notes. Elvis' cousin, Harold Lloyd, who was manning the gates, didn't recognize Jerry Lee and called the police. The press later reported that The Killer was waving a pistol in the air, demanding to see Elvis. It was a story that tour guides at Graceland told for years, but Jerry Lee emphatically denied. "I really didn't mean to do nothin' to harm Elvis. He was my friend. I was his." The two never saw each other again.
