DLP, you know you mention Elvis, and I had totally forgotten that he died in August of 1977 (very close to a daytime vision event I had). Not sure of the significance between '63 and '77, though, other than 14-years.
I remember the dinner I happened to be at, the day it was announced, though. We had a radio playing and the news broke about his death.
If anything, you may very well have hit the nail on the head when you said "both were golden children of the people". One was the final loss of political confidence, the other the death of national pride. (consider, that few things have re-rallied either, since their passing).
If this is the case, then have we stumbled on the true meaning I saw 40-years ago when I heard 'now the end begins'? That from Presley's death and for 40-years forward, it was the 40-year funeral march to national death, too?
Interesting.
