I buy everything available for the eras I am interested in.

Rest, I am selective.

It is high time FTD should go digital. Not streaming - but downloads. And the books also.

Books like a Boy from Tupelo of King Creole are historically significant. They should not be limited to just a few Elvis fans.

A heartbroken man down on his luck is a great trope in romantic storytelling for centuries.

Elvis would have fit the tragic star like a glove. And he had the vulnerability and boyish charm to pull it off.

Agree- missed opportunity.

I had seen one of the beach movies long ago- which put me off Elvis in general. I don't remember which one was it.

When I got into Elvis a few years ago, I watched his movies. I think King Creole was the first one.

June was such an independent lady, and one with great sense of humour and sense of self.

It was inevitable that she would leave him, and by all accounts led a happier life.

Do you take the date references from Elvis Day by Day - for Elvis' lifettime activities?

Just curious.

Thanks for this. TJW was excellent for Elvis. Apart from the most famous of his cover- Polk Salad Annie- my personal favourite is For Ol'Times Sake.

" Viva Las Jaws " ???? Are you kidding me ????? How original !!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

They should have made Elvis sing a song to the shark. The shark transforms from a vicious manhunting monster to a cuddly music loving fish. Close ...

Highly recommend Erics Doss' tome Elvis Culture.

There is a section in it vis a vis Religious aspect of Elvis ' image.

Apologies for self promotion, but here is what I wrote in a review with Piers for EIN.

it is just curious the sympathy towards Parker

The issue is authorial bias and the selective research.

That would have upset Elvis

I am an atheist too and agree with you- it wouldn't sit right with his own belief.

And not to mention- Elvis fans are always accused of treating him like he ...

I enjoy these fun clips.

It is very obvious that it is alternate history type fun.

But I don't think I will listen to an AI song purporting to be Elvis.

Love reading these early articles.

"One of the matadors of this music, the American Bill Haley, has candidly said that you just have to play the music upside down."

Old Bill having a joke on the squares!!!

And Elvis has a 'boxer's nose and a weak face"???!!

So Neon and Universal Pictures will distribute EPiC next year.
No idea if it matters who get the rights….and also no idea if that makes
any difference regarding a Bluray release.



What is telling is that it has got two distributors.

To me it suggests that the producers have waited for ...

If a real cool duet was made with Taylor Swift Id think it could be a hit.
But it means really chaning things up.

Create something new. The christmas duets had nothing to appeal to younger generation.


yes it would probably be a #1 hit because all the Swifties would buy it ;) ...that said a ...

One example of well choreographed track is Walls Have Ears.

( In) Famous in the fan community due to appearance of ' Little Elvis'(!!!), the song has lovely, clever choreography. The stationary camera is well positioned to highlight the focus on objects that shake, tremble, fall and the sound ...

Almost ( Trouble with Girls)

A meditative introspection in what went wrong in a relationship, Elvis brings an understated wistfulness that is genuinely touching. Like many Elvis' songs, this one gets over just when you get in the mood though. The alternate take 6 reminds me of the piano songs of ...
