Opis

This is a biography of Elvis's top 290 comic moments. The King of rock and roll is for the first time revealed as the King of humor. Girls, guns, guitars, morgues, one-way mirrors, fleets of gifts, duping the U.S. President, chimpanzee sex, charade assassins, and water pistol fights are the deepest insights into the real Elvis. Presley had a thoughtful, comprehensive sense of humor, as detailed in the first chapter 'The Psychology of Elvis' Humor'. The best comic moments of his life follow. What Others Say about Elvis Presley's Humor: -"I wish we had a full-length documentary of the way we all carried on at these locations. It would be a heck of a comedy." - Sonny West (bodyguard) -"Elvis, as much as anybody I've ever known in my life, loved to laugh. His whole life was built around trying to find humor in things." - Ronnie Tutt (drummer) -"Whether it was a whoopee cushion placed on one of the guy's chairs or dried red peppers poured on someone's eggs, there was always a prank ready to be played." - Peggy Lipton (model, girlfriend) -"Elvis was an impulsive guy. And when you mix impulse, temper, and pills, you're going to have some interesting situations." - Marty Lacker (Memphis Mafia) -"Elvis had no parameters. He moved the lines of behavior wherever he wanted them and if he went too far, he moved them out farther." - Lamar Fike (stage lighting, MM)
