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.

  • St. Mary's Stroke Center Keeps Elvis Tribute Singer in the Groove
    St. Mary’s stroke center keeps Elvis tribute singer in the groove BY MARY JANE FINE [email protected] Oh, it’d be easy to use all the Elvis clichés about Al Maeyens’ recent stroke, to say he was “All Shook Up” or in “Trouble” or that it was almost “Too Much,” or that his wife, Dee, could’ve been in “Heartbreak Hotel” if not for her husband’s “Good Luck Charm.” Easy, yes. Too easy. Because a stroke is serious business. Deadly serious. “He was paralyzed, unable to speak, deteriorating COURTESY PHOTO: Al Maeyens likes to sing the rapidly,” recalls Dr. Ali R. Malek, who treated Mr. less-known Elvis songs when performing as Elvis Maeyens at St. Mary’s Medical Center. “He had a and The Memphis Beat. blockage in his basal artery, the main artery that feeds the brain.” Mr. Maeyens, who is an Elvis Presley tribute singer – “Don’t say ‘Elvis impersonator,’” he says, “that sounds demeaning” – well, he doesn’t remember much about the day his life almost ended, the day he now calls “that extraordinary event in my life.” It was November of 2012. He had an Elvis booking scheduled for December 2. He’d been having vertigo and what he calls “shimmering auras” in his eyes. He visited an Ear/Nose/Throat (ENT) specialist, who diagnosed an inner-ear problem. He returned home. The dizziness continued. He went to a nearby hospital ER, got a CT scan, another inner- ear diagnosis and a prescription for Antivert, an antihistamine that treats the symptoms of motion sickness.

  • 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.
