Something tells me David Furnish had that same reaction to Elton on their wedding night.

Damn!

"Wedding night"? My big hairy arse! What a crock of shite. Any excuse for two uphill gardenening fudge packers to have a party and show off their shiteness to the world. Pathetic shits.

1) Above and beyond everything else I critizise him for being too hard-headed and proud to do something about his addiction.

2) Not being more of a grown-up than to let the colonel co-direct his career down the drain, but let's face it, he always chose the path of least resistance.

3) This could be incorporated in 2), but he could have rebelled a little more when he realized that his film-career wasn't going anywhere. Not just by the fact that the movies were sh*t, but by the fact that his acting abilities in my opinion merely equalled the quality of the scripts he was given.

4) For not even bothering to either check the sonic quality of the material released in the mid-70's (Yes, I know that he was furious when he heard the Today-recordings, but there is no way that he could have heard the piss-poor sound of the Promised Land LP) or not even bothering to get
a hold of the right and/or complete lyrics to many of the songs he recorded.

5) That he embarrassed both himself and his crowd with his so-called "karate-katas", and I'm referring to post 1972. I've seen him go at it in more than a few super-8 clips from Aug -74, and it's painfully clear that if a real fight ever were to go down, the biggest danger he would ever face would come from himself. Boasting his eighth-degree black-belt he bought his way up to. Like Bruce Thomas said in his biography on Bruce Lee: "Priscilla could kick Elvis' ass anytime".

Yes, you went too soon, but you will always be remembered with great affection!!!!

With Love, sue


You'll never, never know the one who loves you so. . .

Maybe this thread points us to the reason why he was depressed and left us so early.
Too many people wanting him to be what they wanted him to be and not loving him for who he was. In the end he subconciously wanted to die and I hope he is at peace now.

No criticism from me.......regrets?? I have a few (and I suspect he did as well).

Remove his faults and he never would have become or accomplished the grand things he did.

Merry Christmas Elvis..........and thank you for all you've given us.

Sometimes I think I´m the only person that likes Padre. I simply enjoy the song. :lol: :oops:

We've managed homophobia, I suspect racism, sexism and all the other traits that the FECC are trying to curb will rear their ugly heads too.

Over-blown hysterical pap. With several notes he couldn't hit, he should have left this one in the bin.

I love the walk of life of our guy with all ups and downs. I hate that he died at 42 but it also adds to his legend. So no critic here and marry X-mas babies

Too many of these faults are Elvis daring to be interested in things that his fans are not.

No, not in denial. It's just funny when you say that Elvis couldn't hit the notes in the two songs you mentioned. I agree a little on the fact that Padre is not a very great song, but "The Impossible Dream" is a great song.
