Incidentally , Thomson theorises that Elvis may have subconciously let the whole incident blow up the way it did to stop himself becoming a 'star'. Some of that good old Catholic guilt that he grew up with made him think he was just not worthy of it - or something like that. That's a theory I agree...

Here's what I always though it was about. Deranged suitor kills lover in motel room because she won't leave her husband. The George Jones on the radio is off in the distance because his mind is clouded by alcohol and what he did last night. The siren wakes him from his stupor. He looks at her. Her ...

I think it was atrocious. The ending was very powerful, but by the time it got there I was bored to death and the depressing finale only ruined my mood. I loved Episode II, however. I don't understand how/why people look down on it as they do. Seems like people's initial reactions change easily when...

Japan's Original Jacket Collection (Mini-LPs)

I just won Get Happy!! on Ebay from a Chinese Ebayer- it came with a poster, a lyric book in both english and japanese, and the disc has the look of a record (it even slides out of a mini-lp-style-case). Anybody familiar with this set? I highly suggest picking them up separately- although you can fi...

"Motel MATCHES" - as in a "matching couple" or a "match made in heaven. I like that idea. I never looked at it from that point of view. Now I see it as... Boys all struggling to find a relationship while Elvis is just banging girls. 8) To put it as simply as possible, anywa...

This song confuses me to this day. Any more thoughts? "I struck lucky with motel matches." At this point, she is motel matches. Which leads me to believe that- "Giving you away like motel matches." means he is giving up on her, throwing her out like motel matches (easy/free to ge...

Oh man, it's really incredible.

I wish my reason for watching it was as manly as your's. :oops: But it truly is the best writing and delivery I've seen on television... ever (sorry Buffy fans).

I'd say so.

When I first got here I got FREE Elvis tickets and a nice little meal with some board members. Regardless of whatever happened since, it was a wonderful night.

Out Of Our Idiot is a great buy... if not for the wonderful collection of rarities- for the elitest inside you to own.

I love the pictures in the KOA book. I need the one of him in the round sunglasses with the guitar in hand (on the 7th page).
Should have been the cover!
