Elvis in Concert (1977 TV Special)
6/10
A Warning for Young Rockers
17 August 2007
This should be the lead item in a warning package distributed to fledgling rock stars. God forbid you get everything you want and nothing that you need -- and this is the evidence of that when it happens. Elvis has squandered the last of his self respect and self worth and is relying on a pack of self-serving sycophants to prop up his dying career and his dying body. It's a tragic tale of excess and indulgence and I recall when it first aired after his death how shocked people were to be able to see -- without blinders -- how pathetic and tragic he was. Only 42 -- it seems so young now. But Colonel Parker and the sad pack of wolves known as 'Memphis Mafia' only saw him as the golden goose and were ready to use him until he dropped in order to prop up their own finances and failed lives. They did, but he died.
