For anyone who has been following this blog AND my podcast "Elvis, And," I am eternally grateful!
We have a new (mini) episode today, which I am particularly fond of! Give it a listen if you have a few minutes. I assure you, it'll become a holiday tradition.
"Elvis, And The Million Dollar Quartet"
Season 2 of Elvis, And starts with Dr. Nick.
Starring a young Matt Casarino as the infamous Dr. Nick. Forget everything you think you know and spend 30+ minutes listening.
You won't need Web M.D. to find out if you're "Redboning."
Also, BEWARE OF THE SANDMAN!

LISTEN TO EPISODE 3 OF "ELVIS, AND" HERE!!!
If you've been listening to the Elvis, And (you haven't, I track the numbers), this one is slightly different. Elvis himself doesn't show up until 20+ minutes into it. That's a first for us!
Instead we track the rise of, soon to be Elvis manager, Col. Tom Parker. Parker was a colorful character, who as Brendan points out in the opening monologue, may have killed a man (like Ty Cobb...only Cobb DEFINITELY killed a man!)
Parker manipulated Elvis (not unlike the rest of E's "hangers on") but the difference was his "friends" didn't want to suck him dry, while The Colonel did just that! It's a widely held belief among Elvisphiles that the Colonel was a contributing factor to putting Elvis in an early grave (well, and the drugs).
We don't go nearly this dark in the episode, but if you've got the time, give it a listen.
AND if you like it, please share it...and who knows, maybe leave us a review?
