Our
friends
from
Puddle
Of
Mudd
have
fallen
foul
of
the
custodians
of
the
Elvis
homestead
at
Graceland.
The
band
inadvertently
broke
some
rules
on
their
visit
to
the
shrine
of
Elvis
on
last
Monday.
Front
man
Wesley
Scantlin
was
suffering
from
the
stifling
Memphis
heat
and
decided
that
a
quick
dip
in
Elvis’s
private
pool
was
just
what
he
needed.
Alas
the
only
picture
of
the
event
was
snapped
using
a
less
than
quality
camera,
but
it
is
still
worth
publishing.
We
are
not
sure
if
Wesley
is
wearing
his
‘Tighty
Whities’,
or
he
was
‘Full
Monty’
for
this
event.
The
security
personnel
took
a
dim
view
of
Wesleys
escapade,
not
only
was
Wesley
assisted
out
of
the
pool,
and
escorted
off
the
property,
he
now
faces
a
lifetime
ban
from
Graceland!
A
shocked
Wesley
explained
“I
just
wanted
to
take
a
dip!”
When
one
considers
the
scentric
behavior
that
Elvis
was
known
for,
you
would
think
that
the
Graceland
‘Rent
A
Cops’
would
have
shown
more
understanding
and
compassion’
Unfortunately
the
Graceland
staff
have
no
sense
of
humor,
and
obviously
they
had
no
idea
about
who
they
were
escorting
off
the
property!
Puddle
of
Mudd
are
about
to
release
their
next
album
Famous
on
October
9th.
You
can
get
a
sneak
listen
to
their
track
Psycho
here.
Incidentally
I
suspect
that
Famous
is
going
to
do
well,
grab
it
quick.
You
can
pre-order
Famous.
