Elvis Presley And The World He Influenced

A young Elvis Presley

Today Elvis Presley would have been 80, which seems unimaginable to me. When I was young he was one of my idols. The image above is actually a scan of a photo I had on my bedroom wall, all those years ago  - yes, I've still got it!

When the Beatles came along and all of the Mersey Beat I, of course, took to their music as well but in my mind I was always faithful to Elvis. Strange what influences we have on our lives.

We are all influenced by the people we meet and, in turn, we influence others - whether we set out to do so or not. Going back to Elvis, I never smoked because of him and for a long time wouldn't drink alcohol, again because of him. I'd read in a magazine somewhere that - at that time, in his early years - he didn't - so I didn't.

All the time we are being influenced and very often without us realising it.

A bit like plasticine, we can be moulded by those around us, and by what we read and see in the media at large. Everything has a slight or greater effect on us and somehow we have to take control and make sure that our opinions and actions are really our own.

Ideally we should do and think what we really want to do and think - and importantly make sure our children and grandchildren are doing the same - or would that be influencing them ...

Well, I didn't expect this post to go in the direction it has. I intended to simply pay a brief tribute to Elvis. Wonder what the influence was to change course ...

The Elvis Movie Coincidence

Elvis Presley with Mary Tyler Moore and Lorena Kirk in Change of Habit
I discovered this Elvis Presley coincidence following my recent post Teen And Toddler Elvis Presley Photos And His School Report Card Coincidence.

Elvis' final movie, his 31st, was Change of Habit. In this his role was that of Dr John Carpenter.

In 1979, two years following his death, it was John Carpenter who directed the made for television movie, Elvis, starring Kurt Russell and which was nominated three Emmy Awards.

It's interesting that Kurt Russell's film career began at the age of eleven in an uncredited part in Elvis Presley's movie It Happened at the World's Fair. And, according to Wkipedia, 'Russell starred as an Elvis impersonator in 3000 Miles to Graceland and provided the voice of Elvis for a scene in Forrest Gump. I also see that Bing Russell, who played Vernon Presley in Elvis, is Kurt Russell's real father.

It's a pity Elvis didn't heed the signs in the movie Change of Habit. As Dr John Carpenter he cautioned his three assistants to take minimal amounts of medication on house calls. He also made frequent references to the abuse of drugs by his patients.

But Elvis was on a downward path.

In the movie he sings:

"A change of habit, a change of outlook
A change of heart, you'll be all right
The halls of darkness
Have doors that open
It's never too late" 

But it was too late for Elvis!

Teen And Toddler Elvis Presley Photos And His School Report Card Coincidence

Elvis Presley at 16 years old
Elvis Presley at 16
I've mentioned several times that I'm a fan of the young Elvis Presley's music - prior to his Las Vegas stint. I got a few bits and pieces from a car-boot sale and amongst them - to my delight - were two photos of Elvis: the one above, when he was 16 years old, and the other of him as a small child with his parents Vernon and Gladys Presley - see at bottom of this post.

There was also Elvis Presley's School Pupils Report Card from East Tupelo School in 1943-45. I'm sure it must be a replica, but I found it interesting - especially as it had the name 'Perry' on it and another 'coincidence'.

Here are the four pages of the Pupils Report Card. On page 3 there is Vernon Presley's signature.

Below is page 4 of the card. The top advert is for The Peoples Bank. Strangely, when I worked in loans and finance the company I was with actually bought The Peoples Bank! It wouldn't have been the same one, what with me being in England, but a coincidence as far as I'm concerned. For a while I promoted their services.

The third advert on the same page is for Perry's - my surname also being Perry, and my wife's initial being K.

And finally below is Elvis with his mother and father Gladys and Vernon Presley.

At Long Last I Get Photographed Next To Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley with Mike Perry

We went to the Hall for Cornwall (a theatre) last Friday to see a musical Dreamboats and Petticoats. This features music from the late 50s and the 60s, As it's a bit of a passion of mine my son and daughter-in-law had booked the tickets for me as a present.

Dreamboats and Petticoats

Karin and I enjoyed the show and afterwards got talking about such music and inevitably I mentioned Elvis Presley. I rambled on a bit, as I sometimes do, and said how, when Elvis was alive, on my list of the things I wanted to do, was to be photographed with him. Not terribly likely at the time as I live in England and his only visit to the UK was a quick stopover at Prestwick Airport in Scotland during his army days.

The ambition was therefore never ticked off on my list.

On the Saturday, after the theatre, I was writing a post for this blog and wanted to find a suitable picture. I searched Google Images for 'classic coincidences' - as I scrolled down the page I found me and Elvis next to each other! I took a page grab, as at the top of this post.

So I was sort of photographed next to him. I guess, in the circumstances, it was the best the universe could do for me!

One night, however, Karin had gone up to bed and I was sitting on a settee looking out at the living room.

Maybe it's a reflection or something, or just my imagination but in the second photo ... Read full story.

I Ain't Never Did No Wrong Coincidences

Young Elvis Presley in black and white

I've mentioned previously that I like old rock music - some would call it rock and roll - this includes the early music of Elvis Presley before his Las Vegas shows and churning out those awful movies.

My favourite Elvis song is One Night, I won't go into reasons why, draw your own conclusions - but it brings back a shed load of memories.

On the car radio today they actually played the record - as they used to be called. Later in the day I found out that there is synchronicity attached to the record's release in 2005.

One Night was originally released in 1959 but was re-released on what would have been Elvis Presley's 70th birthday in January of 2005. This immediately went to the top of the UK charts - and this is where five coincidences materialise:

1. The single became the UKs 1000th Number One in the charts.

2. This made Elvis the first artist to spend 1000 weeks in the UK Top 40.

3. It was the 300th record to make it's maiden Top 40 appearance at Number One.

4. This was Elvis's 1200th week in the UK's Top 75.

5. It was Presley's 20th Number One.

A neat numbered coincidence package.

Elvis Presley And Madonna's Satanic Illuminati Links

Madonna occult symbols

I had some unexpected free time this morning so I thought I'd see if there was anything I could find on the Internet that would be suitable for a future post. I didn't have any subject in mind.

I went into my blog stats first and saw that for today I had 1111 page views so far. I felt the number significant. It came to my mind that Elvis Presley's come back album, after being in the US Army, Elvis Is Back, was GZS-1111. (I have this on a vinyl original recording). So off I went hunting the King!

Elvis Presley 1111 Elvis Is Back

I've written previously about how I like early Elvis Presley rock music and somehow while Googling this I found how Elvis was supposedly controlled by the Illuminati! I hadn't heard this before despite having quite a few books about him. The website Educate-Yourself indicated that it was okay to copy their material so here's a sample:

"Elvis Presley was ... programmed by the Illuminati. We know that at times he went by code names, one which is publicly known was John Burrows. His group, called the Memphis Mafia, have talked about his ability to go into altered states of consciousness, even to seem dead."

The web site continued by talking about Elvis' twin who died at birth and as also mentioned in my post The Twinless Twin Mystery

"Cisco points out that Elvis’ twin brother was dead at his birth, and that Elvis knew that this gave him double spiritual power (according to Illuminati beliefs)."

"The Illuminati will often kill a twin, so that the other will get the power of two souls. From what we understand, Elvis Presley’s handler/programmer was Col. Tom Parker." Who was, of course, his manager.

"Elvis belonged to a team of four Illuminati men. Elvis is publicly known to have studied yoga, numerology, drugs, and received some new age spiritual training in an academy overlooking Pasadena, CA. He was an active member in the Theosophical Society."

A little further on the website writes:

"Elvis and the Beatles were chosen by the Illuminati to introduce rock music to the United States. There is no doubt about Elvis’ and the Beatles’ musical talent. Elvis’ close friend Wayne Newton is highly suspected as also being a slave. Elvis worked with Burt Reynolds and Jerry Lee Lewis who also connect in with the Illuminati’s mind-control operations."

"The authors are puzzled why Elvis’ grave, which had millions of dollars spent on its security, has his name misspelled. We are also puzzled why Elvis, who repeatedly stated he wanted to be buried beside his mother, is buried beside his father, who he privately stated wasn’t even his real father. Why has no one ever tried to collect insurance on Elvis’ death? Once again, it seems, the front stories that the public hears are full of inconsistencies. We believe that some people in the Illuminati know the true story about Elvis Presley. For sure Elvis’ mysterious mind-control programmer/handler Col. Tom Parker would know."

Another search and I came across a post about Madonna from a Christian blogger, Stacey Dames. She writes about how she used to be a Madonna fan but ...

"I was pulled from the wreckage by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In honor of the One who saved me, I now write about this woman (Madonna) who has been used willingly since 1983 by Satan and the New World Order elites to further their end time agenda."

Stacey goes on to give a long list that 'proves' Madonna's links with Satan from when she started in show business. One of these links or associations is with Elvis Presley. By coincidence Elvis died on Madonna's birthday, 16th of August. This is what she writes:

"1987: Madonna pays homage to the King of Rock and Roll throughout her career, linking herself to Elvis Presley in various ways. Elvis' death and the continued idolatrous celebration of him also happens to be her birthday - August 16th."

"Elvis Presley is a known occultist who is very fond of satanic theosophist Madame Blavatsky, and even reads to his audiences from her books after performances. Blavatsky teaches that Lucifer is the one true god, Jehovah is satan, and the enlightened one, satan, is coming to rule the planet during the Age of Aquarius."

"Madonna pays homage to the King by kissing a poster of him in her movie, 'Who's That Girl?'"

I glanced at my clock and as it was 11:11 so I thought it must be time to move onto something else!

So should I now ditch my very old collection of vinyl Elvis records, some will be worth a few quid? And I also have a couple of autographed photos of Madonna (see below). Must that now go too?

No way, I think I'll hang onto them, but it does make you wonder who or what you can believe.

There is no reality just our realisation of how things are.

Seen on Elvis Truth.

Nearly forgot to include this!

"The Memphis Mafia spent the next five years keeping Elvis subdued, feeding him drugs that kept him disoriented and overweight. He struggled to keep up his former life, performing stage shows and spending time with beautiful women, but eventually the poisons became too much for him. Elvis Presley died in August 16, 1977, murdered by Freemasons in retaliation for the death of J. Edgar Hoover."

Of course you won't find anything of this on Wikipedia!

Again, there is no reality ...
