It's November twenty-third, and on this day in 1976… Jerry Lee Lewis showed up at the gates of Graceland for the second night in a row, this time waving a gun and demanding to see Elvis. In the early morning hours, police found Lewis sitting in his car with a loaded .38 derringer on his knee, shouting and cursing. Elvis, safely inside, watched the entire incident unfold on his closed-circuit security monitors. The bizarre scene marked one of the most infamous encounters between two rock and roll legends—though only one of them was invited.
