The Apotheosis of Elvis

After hearing NPR's hagiographical account of the life and death of Elvis Presley, I'm wondering when we'll begin seeing black velvet renditions of the Apotheosis of the King, ascending to the right hand of his Father in glory. Sheesh.

As my wife noted today, the media coverage, especially the interviews of poor dopes hanging out at Graceland, shows that folks who don't have a liturgical calendar really have a deep need for one; people who have no saints to venerate will nevertheless venerate.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
