Yes he is definately talking about Elvis Presley. The turning point in Gram's life was when we saw Elvis in concert. That was when he knew he wanted to be a musician.

Gram was often referred to as the "Grievous Angel". I think that this song was written about himself. Gram spent most of his childhood grieving. His father committed suicide when he was young and his mother also died before adulthood. This song is biographical.

It's a beautiful song and is often overlooked.

thats what i always thought too
