Elvis Presley

Priscilla Presley is planning to contest Lisa-Marie's will, as a previous issue saw her taken out of the chain of responsibility.

One thing that did surprise me was that L-M was survived by 3 daughters. The stories when her son died gave an impression that L-M was the end of the Presley line (maybe just the name).

Another year, another movie - this time with Sofia Coppola directing, and leading more with Priscilla, indeed the title is Priscilla.

News lately about a proposed attempt to sell the Graceland ranch, to try and settle debts, though a judge intervened to block its sale.

Arena presents - Tales of Rock N Roll - Heartbreak Hotel
A repeat from 1993, with co-writers Tommy Durden and Mae Axton talking about how a newspaper tale of a suicide note with the phrase "I walk a lonely street" led them to the record that elevated Elvis' career no end. As this realistically takes about 5 minutes of screen time, the remaining show told the arc of his life, including footage apparently of his funeral cortege.

Classic songwriter Mark James died at 83. Among the songs he's credited with are:

Always On My Mind
Hooked On A Feeling
Suspicious Minds
Moody Blue

You get the idea. RIP

Late Night w/Seth Meyers - Riley Keough
Riley is one of Lisa-Marie Presley's surviving daughters, and has co-written her mother's memoir, "From Here to the Great Unknown", using text of hers as well as access to many audio tapes LMP made to help herself. Her mother shared many stories with her anyway. They stayed at Graceland from time to time, even during tourist season (though it meant their free movement could be curtailed). She also had to record an audio-book version, which presented other problems.
