Elvis' upper lip still curls upward a bit, and his eyelids tend toward an insolent droop, but there is simply no energy left. It's more than generation gap that places the man closer to Dean Martin and Tom Jo?es than any current rock performer. Was this pathetic old man the fifties' Mick Jagger?

Noah straightens out their biblically unrecorded sexual hang-ups like a pre-lst century marriage counselor and spars in spurious stage-generation-gap fashion with his youngest son, who is skeptical about the Divine Establishment...
