Elvis? It’s Blelvis all day everyday.

We haven’t had some DC shit in a bit so here goes:

 

A former crack addict is local legend as an Elvis impersonator. Only.In.DC. It’s one of those funny/amusing/kinda sad tales all mixed in one glass. Am I a bad person because I thought bad things when I read this:

This is the magic of Blelvis. It is what prompts frat boys to buy him beers, what causes tourists to invite him up to hotel rooms for nightcaps.

Read the whole profile at WaPo, of course. For me, Blelvis seems more likeable than Elvis.

    dude. i saw him in front of the wonderland, and he was like I’m black elvis. and this white kid was like – no, you’re not kool kieth!

    blelvis is so last DECADE. I can’t believe they’re propping him up again. They say some stupid shit in the post about how he makes white gentifiers comfortable in the hood. What they need to do is an article about U Street Face. Cause he’s the opposite of blelvis. he’ll scare the shit out of a gentrified cracker
