The are somethings that Todd told in his books but how reliable are his facts?
He was very close with The Col.
Book: The colonel Parker and Elvis and more.
Stories like:
The Col ask him finding out to let him perform in the UK.
The was no problem with a passport because he was US citizen.
Could easily get a passport.
The Col told him (1975)to go to vernon to talk about touring the UK.
And so on…
I already i apologize to Dr John Carpenter because of my stupid questions. But because this is still a forum I give it a try πŸ˜‚

Parker was not a US Citizen.

To be eligible to get a passport you must be either: A U.S. citizen by birth or naturalization or. A qualifying U.S. non-citizen national.

If Parker was any of these it was obtained with false paperwork. Without a birth certificate Parker couldn’t get a passport.

Any documents wouldn’t hold up to scrutiny as they were fake- his real name wasn’t Tom Parker.

Have read both of Todd’s latest books and thoroughly enjoyed them.
He knew Parker more than most of us.

He's a grown man, for heaven's sake.

He can read them himself!

Do you know this for sure? He may be dyslexic?

Does dyslexia also include the inability to use the quote feature correctly? :smt002

What an odd and rude comment. It tells us a lot about you.

We discussed Slaughter's book on the Colonel in detail two years ago. It is dubious, to say the least.

Read all about it here:

Stop, look and listen, baby <<--->> that's my philosophy!

Can we knock it off with the piss-poor quoting?

It's not that difficult, guys!

The Doc is right. Dubious is a compliment, to put this way.
