June 28 - Something about Australia
by clutching an exasperated Kerri-Anne in a bear hug to reminisce about the deaths of Princess Diana, Elvis, and his own career, in that order. As they say in Australia: Enjoy.
June 28 - Kelly Willis has a new record out
Willis invokes her Elvis-inspired, early-'90s days on "Teddy Boys," a fun little song where she can't help but impart some of her romantic warmth. Willis is even more in her element on the knowing duo of "Losing You," written with Prophet and graced with subtle banjo and steel guitar, and "Too Much to Lose," an elegant portrayal of Willis' relationship with Robison, who harmonizes.
June 28 - How best to decorate an office?
I was telling a guy at work that he needed to decorate his office. He said "I do have a Velvet Elvis!"
June 28 - Herb loves dressing like Elvis
I read a report saying how the founder of Southwest likes to dress like Elvis -- and just now as I was searching for his photo I found this on the photo page: The wild turkey
(September 1, 2001) Herb Kelleher chain-smokes, loves Wild Turkey whiskey and is often seen dressing up as Elvis.
In an industry that's roundly reviled by customers, Southwest Airlines largely stands alone. Thanks to the extremely effective, maverick-cum-evangelistic leadership of Kelleher, Southwest has outlasted competitors big and small to become bigger than all of them combined.

June 19 - Wanna watch?
I think I put the wrong images with each post of these last two, but can't be bothered to fix it. This was supposed to illustrate the following: The 50th anniversary of the release of "Jailhouse Rock" will be observed with a screening July 27, including an appearance by renowned songwriters Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, who wrote most of the tunes that Elvis Presley sang in the movie.

June 16 - All over Blender
As always, Blender has not updated their site with the current cover -- of the White Stripes. Mention of Jack Black playing Elvis is a movie, and also in the 100 events that effected Rock and Roll (or something like that) Elvis is all over it.
June 15 - Two mentions, by Brando & Mae West
In a book of Playboy interviews with Larger than Life personalities, Mae West mentions Elvis was less popular when he got married, and the Marlon Brando has a whole speech about Elvis: Elvis Presley -- bloated, over the hill, adolescent entertainer, suddenly drawing people into Las Vegas -- had nothing to do with excellence, just myth. It's convenient for people to believe that something is wonderful, therefore they're wonderful.

June 6 - PBS Loves Ella
On the special -- ruined by pledge drive -- Natalie Cole felt the need to point out long before Elvis Presley her father was known as King.
June 6 - Beatle on Elvis
From this week's Newsweek: You wrote the most-covered song ever: "Yesterday." Do you ever get sick of it?Not really, no. If you'd have written "Yesterday," would you? [Laughs] It's one of those, man. Come on! It's one of the most mystical things that ever happened to me, waking up one morning with that tune in my head. I mean, that's pretty far out. Recently, though, I realized I'd hardly heard any of these 3,000 cover versions. [Laughs] So I had someone make me a CD of the 10 most amazing covers: you know, Frank Sinatra, Elvis [Presley], Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles. The funniest thing was, three or four of them changed the lyric very subtly. Fabulous! In the middle I go, [sings] "I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday." I own up: "I said something wrong." But they don't! They go, [sings] "I must've said something wrong." [Laughs] Like, "I doubt very much whether I did. I must've. 'Cause she's gone." Check 'em out. See if they do "I must've said something wrong." Certainly Elvis does. He's not admitting a thing.
