“You know, now he’s like my best friend where, if I’m having a bad day, I just pop in his music and everything’s all right,” austinbutler says about Elvis Presley.
a song about which we agree to disagree during a long conversation on a recent sunny L.A. afternoon.
Butler slept in his own bed for the first time in months last night, so he can appreciate the song’s melancholy vibe.
