QUOTES:	"Starts with the sound of water lapping at a shoreline which is soon joined by a distant, disembodied voice and Vini Reilly-style acoustic intro before a slice of impassioned superrock bellows "Overweight and out of date/American Trilogy in Lancashire Pottery?/It's so fucking funny/It's absurd." A rough version of the song was completed prior to Richey's disappearance." (Andrew Male, Select Magazine June 1996)

PRESLEY, ELVIS (1935-77) American singer and actor Exposed to gospel music from childhood, Presley began playing guitar before his adolescence. He first recorded in 1953, became a national sensation by 1956, and dominated rock music until 1963. Presley sang successfully in three popular idioms: country and western, rock 'n' roll, and rhythm and blues. Although he had a pleasant baritone voice and a sincere delivery, it was his pelvic gyrations, considered wildly sexual by an entire generation of teenagers and their appalled parents, which skyrocketed Presley to fame. Among his most successful songs were "Heartbreak Hotel," "Love Me Tender," "Hound Dog," and "Don't Be Cruel." He appeared in such motion pictures as Love Me Tender (1956) and Follow That Dream (1962). Presley remained a popular and influential performer through the 1960s and 70s. His death was attributed largely to substance abuse. Since his death, popular interest in Presley has remained high; his home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee, has been turned into a highly successful tourist attraction.
