ELVIS PRESLEY STORIES

'...RCA wasted no time in capitalizing on the session’s success. Within little

more than forty-eight hours they had pressed 1.4 million advance orders for the

new single (“Stuck On You” and “Fame and Fortune”) and shipped them out in

preprinted sleeves that announced only “Elvis’ 1st New Recording For His

50,000,000 Fans All Over the World” in the absence of definitive titles at the

time they had gone to press.'

'On July 28, 1954, ten weeks after the initial Supreme Court Brown

decision integrating public schools, Elvis sang “That’s All Right” in the

Overton Shell in Memphis. It was a black man’s song, and white women

went wild at the sight of Elvis’s body—this beautiful young white male

body—in motion as he sang.'

'..."You need to be kissed" - Dixie was too young to go into some of the little bars and clubs Elvis was playing around town, but he continued to spend all his free time with her, taking

her wherever he could—to a radio appearance over in West Memphis, Arkansas,

and to his performance at the Katz’s Drug Store opening, where he sang for a

huge crowd of teenagers from the back of a flatbed truck.'

NIRVANA STORIES

'...in the middle of the crowd. I need to get this right. I

need to feel it, sense it, digest and take this in. It’s my last

night; I need to be part of it. I’m looking around at the

legions, all in grunge uniform. The heat, the power, a small

framed, stooping, pale, left-handed guitarist squeals out 24

years’ worth of psychoanalysis and vents his spleen to a crowd

so caught up in the overall event that they don’t care about

the singer’s shit, just how it all sounds. Imagine a huge moth

asleep on a cold light bulb...'

THE BEATLES STORIES

'Think of the key events of the decade, from John F. Kennedy's assassination to Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon. Now Start filling in the holes: Beatlemania...'

'Beatles merchandise was being produced at this time by Nicky Byrne, a London socialite to whom Brian had naively given exclusive global merchandise rights for just ten per cent of the profit. However this may ultimately been an advantage since Byrne was hugely motivated in helping the Beatles win over the US. He felt capitol weren't doing enough, and quitely planned his own campaign. He printed 5000 Beatles T-shirts...'
