Elvis Died For YOU

'It was straining on the porcelain throne that caused The King to abdicate his reign over rock n' roll.'

Nope AFAIK he died on the floor....having fallen off the toilet/throne

Fell off, stumbled a few feet with his pyjamas round his ankles, vomited and was found dead in a pool of said vomit with a fresh turd in the bowl by his fiance. Was a heart attack (or some version thereof) that actually killed him. The strain of shitting being the final straw. Just bad luck really - man was a walking pharmacy and posterboy for the perils of a (literally) shitty diet.

To protect Elvis's young fiancé -- a novice actress named Ginger Alden, to whom he was to be married on Christmas Day later that year -- the sequence of events was altered. What actually happened was this: Elvis, who had been unable to sleep, had played racquetball most of the night and early into Tuesday morning (around 6:30). He then told Ginger, who had a separate bedroom and bath, that he was going into his bathroom "to read" for a while. The book he took in with him, interestingly enough, was The Face Of Jesus, by Frank Adams.

It was Ginger who discovered him around 1:30 in the afternoon that day, after he did not respond to her queries at his bathroom door. Finding it unlocked, she pushed on it and encountered him laying on the floor, facedown in a pool of vomit, his pajama bottoms around his ankles. To spare the distraught woman's feelings and ease her emotional burden, the discovery story was somewhat sanitized in its initial release to the press, particularly regarding the part she had played in the traumatic event, his state of undress and the bodily function in which he had surely been engaged. Only later did it become common knowledge that Elvis had died while trying to defecate.

In his 1999 biography Careless Love: The Unmaking Of Elvis, author Peter Guralnick emphasizes that "it was certainly possible that (Elvis) had been taken while straining at stool"; and Shelby County medical examiner Dan Warlick also indicated that it appeared Elvis had been stricken while seated on the toilet before falling off, crawling several feet, throwing up and dying.

Elvis never really appealed to me, he's a redneck idol really, some hicks worship him.

Elvis was no redneck. He was hanging out with black blues players when he was a kid and going down to Beale street when he'd be the only white kid in the blacks-only club. This idea that he "stole" black music is garbage too - you find a black song that sounds like sun-era Elvis. Elvis single-handedly created an entirely original form of music which everyone else has ripped off, included Chuck D.

Plus, he took more drugs than every other rock star put together. As Albert Goldman put it "His drug intake appears to have no match in medical history...each night before retiring he took enough pills to stun a horse".

Poor we were, I’ll never deny that. But trash we weren’t. There were times we had nothing to eat but corn bread and water. But we always had compassion for people. When I was growing up, we never had any prejudice. We never put anybody down. Neither did Elvis. - Vernon Presley

Aye.

But rock history is written by white cats with postcolonial guilt overload. The main demographic that likes rap music, of course...
 
If you read my post Ismene, I never said he was a redneck himself, I merely said he is an idol to rednecks and some hicks worship him like they do Jesus. That is a fact

Also isn't there an old black and white video where Chuck Berry's getting a blowjob from a girl on her knees as he loudly farts, then he says "I bet you can smell that". I'm sure I saw such a video posted somewhere, it must have been very old and of bad quality, I'm not sure whether it was Chuck Berry or another musician of the time

I think there is some truth to the "Elvis stole "black" music and sold it to rednecks" stuff. Only in the sense that all artists have influences though. More a populariser than a thief, I'd say.

Elvis owes as much to Hank Williams as he does to any r&b musician though. And sure - rednecks loved Hank, but everybody should.
 
I fucking love Hank Williams the first, such a great musician, love the latter one too, some his songs are brilliant.

I can't believe he still hasn't been reinstated at the Grand Ol Opry

Elvis had a wildness and abandon that Hank and blues musicians didn't have tho. The atitude was the main difference between E and what had gone before.
