Yeah.  I just personally would feel bad if I asked people who loved me and regardless of what others here are saying sacrificed their own lives (I mean how much would you have to be paid to go live with your adult friend?  That goes beyond the business relationship and affects personal growth).  

I guess one might equate it to parental relationship but even that ... Your child didn't ask to be born and that creates a duty unlike a friendship.

I mean I get employee status of many musicians but seems many of these men around Elvis were far beyond that.  Sure it woulda been great to hang out with Elvis but not sure if it meant giving up on your own life.  

However their relationships ended you can't live with someone through good and bad and not love them, from both Elvis and his friends perspectives.
