Elvis And Me Book Quotes

A couple of days after the last time I saw him, I got a typically well-written postcard. He said that after he kissed me goodbye at LAX he was driving away and turned on the radio. Elvis was singing "It's Now or Never." In my personal religion, a faith cobbled together out of pop songs and books and movies, there is nothing closer to a sign from God than Elvis Presley telling you "tomorrow will be too late" at precisely the moment you drop off a girl you're not sure you want to drop off. Sitting on the stairs to my apartment, I read that card and wept. It said he heard the song and thought about running after me. But he didn't. And just as well--those mixed-faith marriages hardly ever work. An Elvis song coming out of the radio wasn't a sign from God to him, it was just another one of those corny pop tunes he could live without.

thought the writing was wonderful, too, and found myself going over quotes and asking questions while Elvis analyzed different passages from the book. Even in such a short time, I could feel that reading with him was helping me learn and grow.

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times.” He

Which to me means that one must respect not just the story but the way in which it develops; judging the past by the standards of the present sheds little light on understanding, it represents no more than the I-told-you-sos of history.

Buckingham, Nicks’s former lover and a bandmate of hers since the late ’60s, when both were members of a Bay Area group called Fritz, admits to having always considered her songs “a little flaky.” But, “there’s obviously something about her material that people relate to. She’s always been a little bit hard for me to take seriously, because I really appreciate a beat, having been weaned on Elvis and Little Richard and Chuck Berry.

Elvis took special care to explain his intellectual and spiritual interests to me. He had studied chakras and at one point he showed us a book on them. I learned that the word chakra came from the Sanskrit language and meant “wheel center.” A chakra channeled life force, feelings, memories, and thoughts.

But for me, the most compelling evidence that Elvis did indeed fake his own death was a tissue sample taken from a biopsy Elvis had in 1975 to check for Hepatitis. This shows the DNA is different to DNA obtained from Elvis's 1977 autopsy. A major news agency conducted an independent back up test, and the results were the same. The autopsy tissue purportedly Elvis's did not match the known tissue from the 1975 sample. This summarily proves that the person autopsied was not Elvis Presley. I’ll let you ingest that bit of information for a second… Yes, that’s correct. The DNA from Elvis’s liver biopsy taken in 1975 didn’t match the DNA taken from his autopsy. Mind blowing, huh? Fox news contacted Lisa Marie’s representatives and asked for a DNA sample so they could obtain the truth once and for all, but, surprise, surprise, she declined.

Gene wasn’t the only person to come to this conclusion, and for the same reasons. According to Phil Aitcheson (Director of The Presley Commission) in his interview with Gary James… “We got a phone call from a deputy sheriff whose name escapes me at this point in time, but we've got tape on it somewhere here, where he was on location at the Underground Wax Museum in Atlanta, Georgia on the week they were closing. Vernon Presley and a couple other fellas from the Presley clan came in and bought the wax figure of Elvis, because it was all being auctioned off. They made the purchase and on the way out the door, after they loaded the truck and took the figurine, Vernon Presley turned to the guy at the museum and said ‘Wait 'til you guys see what we're going to do with this’. And I have that on tape. This correlated right in to what we were able to determine about a wax dummy being used. Tanya Tucker, a very well-known Country star in her own right, was at the viewing and knew and even stated on national TV in an interview later on that, that was not Elvis in the coffin. And there have been a number of others that have made mention of it.
