The Hitchhiker's Guide To Elvis By Mick Farren

Elvis Presley...modern history has never seen a culture more obsessed with an individual than we are with Elvis. The entertainer died nearly twenty years ago, yet his spirit persistently endures—some may even say he's more popular today. Why? Writer Mick Farren journeys through the bizarre world of Elvis, which he has dubbed the "Elvis Universe," by constructing an exhaustive A to Z encyclopedia of everything and everyone relevant to The King.

With over 340 entries and 90 photos, The Hitchhiker's Guide To Elvis is virtually unparalleled in its scope:
• For collectors, Elvis memorabilia is covered in-depth, featuring everything from Elvis cologne to Elvis toothpick holders, with complete information on availability
• Nearly every theory regarding Elvis' death is explained and examined
• The women in Elvis' life—his wife Priscilla and daughter Lisa Marie, the dozens of women who claim to have had affairs with him, the women he met in Hollywood—they're all thoroughly discussed
• His worshippers are looked at, from the famous and not-so-famous impersonators to other everyday people affected and influenced by Elvis
• Elvis' presence in the mass media is examined, with a complete look at the films, books, and TV series made about The King • Rare items, like an actual prescription written by the infamous Dr. Nick, and an almost illegible letter written by Elvis to President Nixon, are presented
• The book begins with a fascinating essay by Mick Farren to introduce us to the Elvis Universe
• And much, much more...
The Hitchhiker's Guide To Elvis is a must for any Elvis fan, and an entertaining, accessible tool for those just getting started.

Hier hatte er am 14. 9. 1959 die 14jährige Priscilla Beaulieu kennengelernt, die er am 1. 5. 1967 heiratete (Scheidung 1973). Auf der Single 'Wooden Heart' von 1960 streute Elvis Presley deutsche Text-Passagen ( - 'Muß i denn, muß i denn zum Städtele hinaus' usw.) ein.
