As it is mine – Elvis actually had one 'serious' movie, and weirdly enough, it co-starred Walter Mattheau and Carolyn Jones (Mortitia.) Don't know if you have seen it – KING CREOLE. It's pretty dark, and it's got the greatest music.

The comeback concert is also great to see ('68 I think) when he was at an all time popularity low. He had the gumption to fight the tide (of psychedelia) and get on stage in a black leather jacket and do it acoustic, and he played his absolute heart out. He went to war that night, no doubt about that, but he had the his closest warriors and companions right there with him.

HOWEVER: in the interest of full disclosure–the 'strawberries' and all related prose on this entry is a sort of found poem inspired by THE STAR: THE AMERICAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY from September, 1977.

Lots of stuff in that. There is nothing like nostalgia for the innocence of tabloids.

Yeah, I figured it was a found poem. I love found stuff. I confess...I buy US Weekly almost weekly. It's a sickness of mine. I'll have to check out "King Creole." Angelina Jolie thought she and Billy Bob were soul mates because they both agreed that was the best Elvis movie. HA.
