    mystery train by lewis shiner s he climbed the stairs, Elvis popped the cap off the pill bottle and A shook a couple more Dexedrines into his palm. They looked like pink candy hearts, lying there. He tossed them into the back of his throat and swallowed them dry. “Hey, Elvis, man, are you sure you want to keep taking those things?” Charlie was half a flight behind, drunk and out of breath. “I mean, you been flying on that shit all weekend.” “I can handle it, man. Don’t sweat it.” Actually the last round of pills hadn’t affected him at all, and now his muscles burned and his head felt like a bowling ball. He collapsed in an armchair in the third floor bedroom, as far as possible from the noise of the reporters and the kids and the girls who always stood outside the house. “In three weeks we’re out of here, man. Out of Germany, out of the Army, out of these goddamn uniforms.” He untied his shoes and kicked them off. “Amen, brother.” “Charlie, turn on the goddamn tv, will you?” “Come on, man, that thing’s got a remote control, and I ain’t it.” “Okay, okay.” Elvis lunged for the remote control box and switched on the brand-new rca color console. It was the best money could buy, the height of American technology, even if Germany didn’t have any color transmissions to pick up with it. Charlie had collapsed across the bed. “Hey, Elvis. When you get home, man, you ought to get yourself three different tvs.

  • WDAM Radio's History of Elvis Presley
    Listeners Guide To WDAM Radio’s History of Elvis Presley This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of Elvis Presley’s “charted” hit singles, including the original versions of songs he covered, as well as other artists’ hit covers of songs first recorded by Elvis plus songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis! More than a decade in the making and an ongoing work-in-progress for the coming decades, this collection includes many WDAM Radio exclusives – songs you likely will not find anywhere else on this planet. Some of these, such as the original version of Muss I Denn (later recorded by Elvis as Wooden Heart) and Liebestraum No. 3 later recorded by Elvis as Today, Tomorrow And Forever) were provided by academicians, scholars, and collectors from cylinders or 78s known to be the only copies in the world. Once they heard about this WDAM Radio project, they graciously donated dubs for this archive – with the caveat that they would never be duplicated for commercial use and restricted only to musicologists and scholarly purposes. This collection is divided into four parts: (1) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S singles hits in chronological order – (2) All of Elvis Presley’s charted U S and U K singles, the original versions of these songs by other artists, and hit versions by other artists of songs that Elvis Presley recorded first or had a cover hit – in chronological order, along with relevant parody/answer tunes – (3) Songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley – mostly, but not all in chronological order – and (4) X-rated or “adult-themed” songs parodying, saluting, or just mentioning Elvis Presley.

    Mystery Train (Elvis Presley) [Verse 1] Train I ride, sixteen coaches long Train I ride, sixteen coaches long Well that long black train got my baby and gone [Chorus] Train train, coming around, around the bend Train train, coming around, around the bend Well it took my baby, but it never will again No, not again [Verse 2] Train train, coming down, down the line Train train, coming down, down the line Well it's bringing my baby, because she's mine all, all mine She's mine, all, all mine [Chorus] Train train, coming around, around the bend Train train, coming around, around the bend Well it took my baby, but it never will again No, not again (Ooh, woah) 157 "Mystery Train" is a song written and recorded by American blues musician Junior Parker in 1953. Originally performed in the style of a Memphis blues or rhythm and blues tune, it was inspired by earlier songs and later became a popular rockabilly song, with recordings by Elvis Presley and others. Music historian Colin Escott noted "One of the mysteries about 'Mystery Train' was where the title came from; it was mentioned nowhere in the song". The song uses lyrics similar to those found in the traditional American folk music group Carter Family's "Worried Man Blues", itself based on an old Celtic ballad, and their biggest selling record of 1930: The train arrived sixteen coaches long The train arrived sixteen coaches long The girl I love is on that train and gone Parker's lyrics include: Train I ride sixteen coaches long Train I ride sixteen coaches long Well, that long black train carries my baby home Junior Parker, billed as "Little Junior's Blue Flames", recorded "Mystery Train" for producer/Sun Records owner Sam Phillips.

    Harvest (Online); Bi-Annual Creative sides of Son -Lover Volume 3(2); 2018 THAT'S ALL RIGHT, MAMA: ELVIS PRESLEY, THE THERAPEUTIC SHADOW, THE MOTHER COMPLEX, AND CREATIVE SIDES OF THE SON-LOVER Dr. Ari Katorza Historian, Music Critic & Cultural Studies Scholar, Sapir Academic College Israel Email: [email protected]; [email protected] Phone: 972-54-4791459 Abstract More than half a century after his breakthrough to superstardom, Elvis Presley is still a great icon in western civilization. As the "King of rock 'n' roll", he has been a symbol of America's cultural power worldwide. Yet, his is also a tragic story of the hazards surrounding fame, stardom, and the American dream. Yet, surprisingly, in comparison to other twentieth-century cultural giants, such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan, the academia wasn't too generous when it came to Elvis Presley. He was a "name" that was linked to sub-cultural theories and a capitalist product, but the academic research concerning Presley is not rich at all. There are hardly any serious academic writing concerning his music and life. Even though, he is one of the most well-known icons concerning pop culture during the 20th century. This essay is about Elvis Presley and the psychology of the son-lover and the mother complex, and its impact on Presley's early music (1954-1956). I will relate to the historical background and to aspects of his music, but my main focus will be in applying analytical psychology and Jungian theory to understand his familial relationships and habitudes, in order to shed a light on some hidden aspects of his performances, recordings, and the libido of creativity that characterized his early works.

  • Lecture Outlines
    CHAPTER EIGHT: “ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK”: ROCK ’N’ ROLL, 1954–1959 Lecture Outlines Lecture 1: Rock ’n’ Roll I. Rock ’n’ Roll, 1954–1959 The advent of rock ’n’ roll during the mid-1950s brought about enormous changes in American popular music. Styles previously considered on the margins of mainstream popular music were infiltrating the center and eventually came to dominate it. R&B and country music recordings were no longer geared toward a specialized market. 1. Began to be heard on mainstream pop radio 2. Could be purchased nationwide in music stores that catered to the general public Misconceptions 3. It is important to not mythologize or endorse common misconceptions about the emergence of rock ’n’ roll. a) Rock ’n’ roll was not a new style of music or even any single style of music. CHAPTER EIGHT: “ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK”: ROCK ’N’ ROLL, 1954–1959 b) The era of rock ’n’ roll was not the first time music was written specifically to appeal to young people. c) Rock ’n’ roll was not the first American music to bring black and white pop styles into close interaction. d) Rock ’n’ roll was a designation that was introduced as a commercial and marketing term for the purpose of identifying a new target for music products. II. The Rise of Rhythm & Blues and the Teenage Market The target audience for rock ’n’ roll during the 1950s consisted of baby boomers, Americans born after World War II. 1. Much younger target audience 2. An audience that shared some important characteristics of group cultural identity: a) Recovering from the trauma of World War II—return to normalcy b) Growing up in the relative economic stability and prosperity of the 1950s yet under the threat of atomic war between the United States and the USSR CHAPTER EIGHT: “ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK”: ROCK ’N’ ROLL, 1954–1959 c) The first generation to grow up with television, an outlet for instantaneous nationwide distribution of music d) The Cold War with the Soviet Union was in full swing and fostered the anti-communist movement in the United States.
