MOORE Courtesy of The Daily Memphian A resolution to increase the Shelby County wheel tax by $20 to infuse more money into the Memphis Area Transit Authority passed the Shelby County Commission’s general govern- ment budget committee by a one-vote majority Wednesday, Jan.8. That vote leaves the legislation little wiggle room Monday, Jan. 13, when the amended reso- lution will need nine votes from the full com- mission to pass. And because the resolution involves a fee, there must also be a second vote by commissioners. The resolution is sponsored by commis- sioners Willie Brooks, Van Turner and Tami Sawyer, who were joined by Mickell Lowery and Eddie Jones with yes votes. Commissioners Da- vid Bradford, Edmund Ford Jr., Amber Mills and Mark Billingsley voted no. Commissioners Brandon Morrison and Mi- chael Whaley abstained.

    Excerpt The Seeker King A Spiritual Biography of Elvis Presley By Gary Tillery Taken from the Introduction The deluxe Dodge motor home thundered west on Route 66, chewing up the Arizona desert. Three passengers rode along in comfort inside the spacious vehicle, enjoying all the amenities the mid-sixties had to offer—including an eight-track tape deck, a stereo, and even a television. Two other men sat up front, the owner of the vehicle behind the steering wheel. Passing motorists who happened, out of idle curiosity, to crane their necks and glance at him received a jolt they would never forget. Elvis Presley had delayed leaving Memphis until the last minute. He had seized every excuse to avoid departing. Now, since he hated to fly, he and his retinue of friends and assistants were forced to drive almost nonstop across the nation to be on the West Coast in time to begin production of his latest film. Several years of trite scripts and lackluster soundtrack albums had stripped Elvis of any enthusiasm for starting a new movie. He was embarrassed by the mediocre quality of the films the Colonel kept committing him to make, and he was disenchanted with the Hollywood lifestyle. But as he headed west, that was not the worst of what was troubling him. He found himself in the depths of a spiritual crisis. Twelve hours earlier, during another turn in the driver’s seat, his mental anguish had reached a tipping point. Approaching Amarillo in the early morning, with no word to the others, he abruptly pulled off the highway into a motel parking lot.

    HIS SPORTS CARS AND HIS WOMEN ISSUE 3 2015 Editor's Desk: I SEEN ELVIS! By: Russ Keep Elvis is alive! The King was sighted at last year's Conclave. He was incognito in sunglasses but his cape tipped off his true identity. The King was seen pushing his immaculate, better than new, BJ8 out of its enclosed, air conditioned trailer. Elvis didn't win a trophy because he refused to start up his over-restored BJ8 - "It mighta' caused a lil 'ol oil leak or singed the paint on them exhaust pipes on that doggone Austin Taxi Cab motor." Some people refuse to believe this. They claim Elvis' BJ8 is powered by a Ford 427 Sohc "cammer" and the exhaust roar would have brought unwelcome curiosity to the car and its owner.

  • Welcome to My World: Researching the Role of Personal Narrative and Affective Presence at Graceland
    Welcome to My World: Researching the Role of Personal Narrative and Affective Presence at Graceland Mariruth Leftwich Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the regulations of the Institute of Education, University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute of Education, Faculty of Children and Learning 2012 1 Thesis Abstract This study explores the visitor experience at one of the world's most famous historic houses, Graceland, Elvis Presley's home. The research methodology prioritises the visitor's voice, examining the impact of the Graceland experience on visitor perception. Particular attention is paid to theories of personal narrative and affective presence as interpretive devices. Personal Meaning Maps from 170 visitors form the core data and provide evidence of the profound conceptual changes that occur in visitors' perceptions of Elvis. Visitors consistently describe Elvis as a 'real' person, with personal characteristics such as humility and generosity proving more memorable than his fame or career. The Graceland tour is designed for visitors to connect with Elvis in an affective manner, evoking emotions and relying on narratives of family and nostalgic discourses. This succeeds in providing visitors with an experience that challenges and extends their pre-visit views of Elvis as the 'King of Rock and Roll.' The ability to change visitor perception is linked to the quality of the experience, as Adams et al. (2003) suggests, 'the better the experience, the greater the change' (p. 22). The transformations documented at Graceland prompted investigation, searching for indicators of quality interpretation through analysis of the audio tour content and visitor photographs. This examination reveals a set of interpretive practices potentially useful for other historic properties, including the contextualising of space through personal accounts, the introduction of emotive media, and a reliance on a narrative that is personal rather than objective.

  • Transcript of Letter from Elvis to President Nixon
    Transcript of handwritten letter from Elvis Presley to President Richard Nixon December 21, 1970 Dear Mr. President. First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Elvis Presley and admire you and have great respect for your office. I talked to Vice President Agnew in Palm Springs three weeks ago and expressed my concern for our country. The drug culture, the hippie elements, the SDS, Black Panthers, etc. do not consider me as their enemy or as they call it the establishment. I call it America and I love it. Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help the country out. I have no concern or motives other than helping the country out. So I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position. I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large and I will help out by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and foremost, I am an entertainer, but all I need is the Federal credentials. I am on this plane with Senator George Murphy and we have been discussing the problems that our country is faced with. Sir, I am staying at the Washington Hotel, Room 505-506-507. I have two men who work with me by the name of Jerry Schilling and Sonny West. I am registered under the name of Jon Burrows. I will be here for as long as long as it takes to get the credentials of a Federal Agent.
