Time for a little sex, drugs, and rock n' roll after all that corporate drudgery of my last read 🤘🏼
pickI watched the film a few weeks ago and today I listened to the audiobook. Priscilla, now 80, narrates this memoir that was published in 1986. The film closely aligns with the book, which is rare. They met when she was 14, he was 24. It seems unthinkable to let your 14 yo daughter date a 24 yo man, (even if it was Elvis), especially in 1958. I learned a lot…

pickI recently watched the Priscilla film; it was amazing with great acting and all my favorite tunes from the 50s and 60s. At top right is the real wedding pic, bottom is the film. Connolly‘s bio of Elvis is comprehensive and well-written.

pickI started this yesterday on International Women‘s Day, which I thought was fitting. I‘ve always thought Ann‘s voice was awesome, and that both she and Nancy were badass! This was a great account of their career - the highs and lows, the sexism in the industry, and their sisterly bond.

pickI honestly didn‘t know a whole lot about Elvis before I read this and I thought it was really interesting to hear Priscilla‘s perspective about his life and their relationship. Lots of really interesting stories and I learned a lot about the king of rock.

pickMy parents were fans of Elvis my entire life. I mean, my name is Lisa Marie, though I've been told that's not why.
I saw the film Priscilla a couple of weeks ago and then realized that I'd had this book hanging around for a while. The movie is a very close adaptation of the sentiments in this book. Very interesting to hear (and see) Priscilla's version of their life together. #59-2023
