Title: Boredom and drugs finished off Elvis
Product review: Interesting but sometimes a too detailed look at the slow, sad decline of a legend. Elvis's recurring nightmare which he had for years was an image of being left all alone at Graceland with the Colonel and his extended family long gone and no fans lining up at the gate. His bizarre eating and prescription drug abuse habits made sure he would be dead long before this could happen. The author must have got hold of extensive accounting reports when writing this book because he liked to give detailed percentage cuts of the profits on movies and songs between Elvis and his manager Col. Parker, this kind of slowed the reading down a bit but I guess it showed how inept both Elvis and his father Vernon were when it came to business. It was surprising to see how Elvis's spending habits had forced him to take out another bank mortgage on Graceland which must have added to his bleak outlook of things near the end.
