HEARTBREAK HOTEL: THE DISHARMONIOUS CONVERGENCE OF WELFARE, HOUSING AND HOMELESSNESS SUSAN BENNETT* You can check in any time you like, but you can never leave.1 To say that Americans value themselves as they value their monuments is probably not to make too sweeping a sociological statement. We cele- brate our great public edifices- the Brooklyn Bridge, Fenway Park- for their happy joining of form and function, or their nostalgic associations.2 Archae- ologists studying the 1980's will undoubtedly analyze that era as the one which measured itself in malls. We gasp, we thrill, we buy- we am. We have other monuments. If our true measure lies in how we treat our most vulnerable, then the real gauges of the 1980's are a hotel and a gymna- sium floor.

  • 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.

  • All Shook Up
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Center REP Press Department 925.295.1413 [email protected] Center REPertory Company Presents All Shook Up Book by Joe DiPietro Inspired by and Featuring the Songs of Elvis Presley Musical Director Dolores Duran-Cefalu Directed and Choreographed by Robert Barry Fleming Press Night is September 8th at 7:30 pm Walnut Creek, CA, August 18, 2009––Center REPertory Company presents All Shook Up, from September 3 through October 10, 2009. Directed and Choreographed by Robert Barry Fleming and with Musical Direction by Dolores Duran-Cefalu, All Shook Up is the first production of Center REP’s 43rd subscription season. Press night is Tuesday, September 8th at 7:30 pm. All Shook Up is made possible by the generous support from Chevron, The Contra Costa Times and Diablo Regional Arts Association. ELVIS MEETS SHAKESPEARE. That is the unlikely premise of the 2005 Broadway hit All Shook Up, a musical based on the plot of William Shakespeare’s comedy Twelfth Night and told through the songs of Elvis Presley. All Shook Up comes to Walnut Creek’s Center REPertory Company in September. Artistic Director Michael Butler is certainly opening the 2009-10 season with a bang. Twenty-five of the King’s hits, including “Devil in Disguise,” “Heartbreak Hotel,” and, of course, “All Shook Up,” help tell a tale, set in the 1950s, of love, tolerance, and laugh-out-loud gender-bending disguises. “I think people will be surprised and completely delighted at how well these songs work as theatre music. They’re great story-telling songs,” says Butler, who is an Elvis fan himself.

  • The King of Rock 'N' Roll
    1 Leggi e ascolta il brano. Elvis Presley: The King of rock ‘n’ roll Elvis Presley was the first rock ‘n’ roll superstar. His nickname was ‘The King’ because he was the king of rock ‘n’ roll. He was born on 8th January, 1935 in the state of Mississippi. His parents were poor and he was an only child. When he was a teenager his passion was music: gospel, blues and country. His favourite singers were the country singer Hank Snow, Mario Lanza and Dean Martin. He was a great singer and a sensational dancer. He had black hair and blue eyes and he was very good-looking. Elvis’s first hits were ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, ‘Jailhouse Rock’ and ‘Blue Suede Shoes’. These songs are now rock ‘n’ roll classics. In his very successful career he had 21 number one hits in the USA and his music was popular all around the world. He was also the star of 33 films but he wasn’t a great actor and people remember him for his music. Tragically Elvis’s life was very short. He died at his home, Graceland, in Memphis, on 16th August, 1977. He was only 42 years old. Elvis is still very popular today. There are over 500 official Elvis Presley fan clubs all over the world. His fans include Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Elton John. His home, Graceland, is a top tourist attraction. Every year over half a million people visit it. And his music is still popular, too. A remix of his song ‘A little less conversation’ was number one in the charts in 2002, 25 years after his death.
