Somebody has to point out all the toxic tracks the pretender to the throne has left behind. The man has very few "deep tracks" woth hearing. IMHO

Rode through the Mojave Desert this past weekend, going from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back again on business (with a side order of pleasure).It was a 24-hour round trip marked by arid climate (temperatures reaching 112); tacky glitz; the occasional celeb strutting around the disco's V.I.P. section or sitting in the front row at the boxing match; and a transient population of wide-bodied Mid...

After The King's return from the army in 1960, his manager, "Colonel Tom Parker":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonel_Parker negotiated a seven year, multi picture deal for Elvis. Elvis had previously stated in interviews that he wished to be taken seriously as a film actor.Unfortunately, this would not turn out to be the case. The films Elvis starred in became increasingly formulaic parodies...

Every year a bunch of new noisy kids will tell you rock and roll is a young man’s game. At 72 and still The King, Elvis Presley knows that it’s stamina you need. He’s survived medical addictions and years of indifference, the attentions of rock gods and hysteria of fans, and after fifty years he knows one thing no other can claim: I started this. This is my kingdom.It was ex-First Lady Betty

Yes, even Elvis had to record a Dylan cover. His reading of this enigmatic little song is loose, relaxed and mediocre.Agree?Disagree?

The King's beloved peacock jumpsuit sold at auction yesterday for $300k, the largest amount ever for a piece of Elvis memorabilia.Hot, ain't it?From the AP article:Presley paid $10,000 to have the outfit made by Los Angeles designer Bill Belew, who created all of The King's stage wardrobe between 1968-1977. It captured the rock 'n' roll legend's fascination with peacocks as a good luck symbol a...

http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Movies/07/13/elvis.costars.ap/index.htmlHere's where I'm going to really date myself.I'm going to be as discreet as possible.That first woozy, thrilling, unsettling feeling of erotic attraction? Yvonne Craig. In a scene with Elvis Presley in the cinematic milestone (in my life, at any rate) "It Happened At The World's Fair."The future Batgirl was only one of the ...

There have been a LOT of Elvis posts in the last few days due to the anniversary. Enough to surprise me, really, as he didn't seem to generate a lot of MOG interest prior to that (as I remember it, anyway).My question is: will the music of either Elvis or The Beatles live on and be listened to by future generations? The musical fads of prior decades would suggest that, as fans die, so does the ...

Growing up, Elvis and his parents didn't have much money. Growing up in the rural south, there were not many opportunities to make very much money, after a while, the family drifted up to the town of Memphis, the largest town goin round those parts.When Elvis started to make money, though, he bought himself and his parents a proper home in east Memphis. It was soon to be discovered, a home in...

Don't fuck with Elvis? Love it when I find interesting things on the web and it's even better when they challenge my music knowledge. In 2005 a report showed that more songs had been written about Elvis Presley than any other artist. It listed over 220 songs that in some way are tied into the artist. That got me thinking, how many could I think of, and could we name all 220. I am going to look ...
