When Elvis Died Podcast #1: Where were you when Elvis Died?

This is the first ever When Elvis Died Podcast, featuring me reading the essay/eulogy from which this blog takes its name.  Lester Bangs has been a huge influence on me personally, artistically, and academically, and more than that, his stuff is just fun to read out loud! Enjoy.
