The Dick Clark / Elvis Phone Calls
When Dick Clark died two weeks ago, one fact revealed was that he never had Elvis on American Bandstand. This actually is not too surprising. Until August 1957, Bandstand had been just a local show on a Philadelphia TV station. … Continue reading

Elvis & Money — Two Stories from Elvis & Nixon
Elvis fans know he always travelled with an entourage. Four, five or six members of his Memphis Mafia accompanied Elvis everywhere, and they took care of all arrangements and logistics of the trips. This included any expenses incurred, so Elvis never had the need to carry much money. Somebody else always handled it. Continue reading

If you follow the news, you certainly know about the cell phone hacking scandal involving the British tabloid News of the World. The current issue of Time Magazine has a cover story that digs into the history of Murdock and his media empire. One illustration for the story was a shot of his six tabloid papers.

Then, at the end of each year, it’s nice to have a wonderful collection of new ones to share with you. So here is my 2010 Christmas salute to Elvis.

Elvis and the Island of Misfit Gifts
Do you remember the Christmas video Rudolph: The Island of Lost Toys? I thought there might be a parallel in Elvisworld. Over the past fifty-five years, there have been many, many Elvis products introduced – and some were pretty crummy. I know, because I’ve received some of them as Christmas presents. So, if there was an Elvis Island of Misfit Gifts, here are some strange items that should be there. Continue reading

Elvis Mr. Potato Head, Part 2 and 3
Most Elvis websites and blogs noted the announcement of Elvis Mr. Potato Head back in June. Some were actually hostile to the idea, but I liked it and said so. I may be old, but I like my Elvis toys, and this is a good one. Continue reading
