The reasons for honouring Elvis are not sentimental but political. I don't own a single Elvis album but he was a champion for those amongst our people who turned against our country's Soviet-backed Government in October 1956. And although the revolution was quashed, Presley saluted the uprising in January 1957 during his last appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and performed "Peace in the Valley", a gospel standard, as a tribute to our plight. At his request, Sullivan solicited the TV audience to donate towards our relief efforts, raising US$6 million (the equivalent of US$ 49 million in 2012 dollars), or about 26 million Swiss francs.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The reasons for honouring Elvis are not sentimental but political. I don't own a single Elvis album but he was a champion for those amongst our people who turned against our country's Soviet-backed Government in October 1956. And although the revolution was quashed, Presley saluted the uprising in January 1957 during his last appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show and performed "Peace in the Valley", a gospel standard, as a tribute to our plight. At his request, Sullivan solicited the TV audience to donate towards our relief efforts, raising US$6 million (the equivalent of US$ 49 million in 2012 dollars), or about 26 million Swiss francs." in the context of "Budapest Mayor István Tarlós, explaining to the press why Presley was named a citizen of Budapest and a Park facing the second oldest crossing in the city, the Margaret Bridge, named after him, following the International Red Cross' handling of some 26 million SFR sent by his fans, which they distributed to some 200,000 Hungarians affected by the Soviet invasion in both Vienna and London, where the refugees were allowed to settle for life, and as published in The Guardian's online edition of March 11, 2012." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
