Anyway, though it's something of a cliche', he does seem to have gotten his act together near the end (though I'm sure he remained a singularly bad marriage partner) and redeemed some of what made his claim of being the "King of Rock 'n Roll" legitimate, as well as his place in the R&R Hall of Fame. I pray that he and Tina some day reprise their act for us in Rock and Roll Heaven, finally free of the tawdry human weakness and Jealousy that ruined it here.
