Foy Slayton, recalling the night he attended the then 21-year-old Elvis's show in San Diego, on April 5, 1956, as published in the Grants Pass Daily Courier on December 28, 2016.
“
After the show, we were headed out and about 20 feet in front of us, there were Elvis and his crew heading out also. Somebody right behind him yelled...faggot.. Elvis turned around and punched him in the face. Now that was funny..I was really glad I saw him do that. I would have probably done the same thing.
