"ELVIS!" (1979) by John Carpenter #1

Hot on the heels of Halloween, John Carpenter lovingly crafted this tribute to The King and established his long-term friendship with Kurt Russell. Let's talk about Scotty Moore, Robert Goulet, Merle Kilgore, Lester Bangs, Public Enemy, Living Colour, Sam Phillips, Dick Clark and oh yes, ELVIS ARON PRESLEY. To me, yes he is The King. But so are LIttle Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Lemmy Kilmister and Chuck Berry. So these Elvis episodes will neither be a deconstruction nor a glorification.  Choose your way of supporting the show for no money or for maybe some money: https://linktr.ee/justtheworstever References: https://www.peterguralnick.com/ https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2015/08/21/emergency-mythmaking-john-carpenters-elvis https://archive.org/details/MusicWorldNo.6Oct.151957/page/n3/mode/2up National Sexual Assault Hotline (https://www.rainn.org/) 1-800-656-4673 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255
