In 1986 or 1987, my wife and I had dinner at The Emperor of China in Boston, MA (near The Orpheum Theater)

We were in town to see Elvis Costello and The Attractions.

The restaurant was practically deserted; as it was early in the evening. On my way to the mens' room, I noticed one table in the back dining room full of men eating and drinking. It was conspicuous because all of the other tables were empty but there were six or seven guys crowded in and around this one lone table in the corner.

Later, at the concert, Elvis introduced his song "The Blue Chair" with, "This is a song about drinking your sorrows away at the end of the day in a place like... 'The Emperor of China'."

I am convinced that that table of noodle-eaters was indeed Elvis and his band and their handlers.
