Description

"ELVIS - Houston, We Have A Problem..." is dedicated to Ms. Agnesa Grofova and in honor of the Audionics import label. According to biographer Peter Guralnick in 'Careless Love: The Unmaking of Elvis Presley', ELVIS "could barely talk, let alone walk" on Aug. 28th, 1976, in Houston. That's easily proven false, much like Bob Claypool's 'Houston Post' review which likens Elvis' speaking voice on stage to the drunkard-portraying celeb, "lovable lush" Foster Brooks. There are numerous photographs of a pre-show Elvis walking out of the Houston Whitehall Hotel with Senior Grand Master Ed Parker and a Houston cop from his security detail. This is in addition to shots of EP smiling, waving and getting into a limousine with employees "Diamond Joe" Esposito & David Stanley - all on his own two feet!The photographers who captured Elvis at the hotel are ostensibly named Jean Crenshaw and Sara Delmonego. So, who is the source that fibbed to Mr. Guralnick and told him that Elvis could barely walk? This wordsmith wouldn't have used hyperbole to push the narrative of a drug-abusing superstar's unmaking. Oh, no, no. Tell us it isn't so! Well, look at the facts laid out in this soft cover, folks, and then you decide After the heroic effort made by Elvis to give his fans their money's worth by performing on stage at the Summit for 86 minutes, superfan Sean Shaver raced to the nearby airport to film his departure. The photos are invaluable because, with them, we see an American patriot only minutes after his display of true grit and devotion to his lifeblood. Walking, talking, waving and pointing - all on his own, with no assistance. "I believe in God. I believe in Him with all my heart. I believe all good things come from God. I don't believe I'd sing the way I do, if God hadn't wanted me to. That includes all the good things that have come to me and my folks. I feel being religious means that you are real grateful for all He has given, and want to work for Him.I owe everything that's happened to me to Him. God is all ways there to pick you up if you should fail. A heart and song upon your lips, for God loves you. But He loves you best when you sing." - Elvis Aaron Presley It's really sad Elvis' own loyal fans accept the officially-sanctioned, fictitious storyline that he performed "loaded" onstage before 17,500 Texans in the summer of '76. Darrin Lee [abbrev. DL]: "How much would it hurt or disappoint Elvis if Lisa Marie believed the accusations in the bodyguard book and elsewhere?"Kathy Westmoreland: "I don't believe Elvis would survive. He couldn't live. I think it would just kill him. From my heart, I'm telling you it would crush him more than anything anyone could possibly imagine." DL: "There couldn't be anything worse happen to him than for his daughter to believe the drug accusations?"Kathy Westmoreland: "No. There could be nothing worse happen to him. I can't think of anything. There's nothing else that would hurt him more and Lisa was the only thing he worried about." DL: "Did he pretty much say, 'What's my girl gonna think?' "Kathy Westmoreland: "Yeah. 'What's Lisa gonna think? What's gonna happen to her? What's she gonna believe?' That was his big concern. He was just beside himself on realizing that she would be subjected to trying to figure all this out." DL: "In all the years that you knew Elvis, Kathy, was this the most hurt - the biggest heartbreak - that you observed?"Kathy Westmoreland: "It's the biggest one. It's the one." DL: "Do you recall Elvis asking, 'What if the public turns against me because of the bodyguard book?' "Kathy Westmoreland: "I think he did say something to that effect, but he knew that he couldn't please everybody and he would be the first to tell you that. He cared about Lisa. Knowing that she would believe it and be affected by it for the rest of her life. He'd have an instant heart attack."
