Me and a Guy Named Elvis: My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley

Product Information

He sounds like someone who is so generous because he wants to be not because it would have looked good in the papers. I grew-up eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches and still cannot believe I didn’t have a fried one until Graceland -- the man was a genius! I haven’t read any other biographies or memoirs about Elvis, but I’ve seen a bunch of documentaries and this book aligns well with what I know based on other sources which makes me trust in its content more.

What makes "Me and a Guy Named Elvis" most extraordinary is the deep level of love and friendship the two men shared. When you first met him playing football sharing that even though he was a star he was kind, generous friendly. More than anything, this moving and elegantly told memoir resonates with the spirit of true friendship.Jerry Schilling's words brought tears to my eyes, making me smile and nod as it filled my head with things I had forgotten but thankfully he remembered. Elvis Presley may be famous for his pelvic thrusts and never ending sideburns but a new book is all set to reveal that he had a passion for practical jokes too. Inače su mi glazbene biografije jedne od najdražih knjiga i zaista obožavam na neki način ući u život ljudi čiju glazbu svakodevno slušam.

One of my bucket list requests would be to one day get to spend a day - or two - just hearing all the stories from those who knew him best. On a lazy Sunday in 1954, twelve-year-old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game, only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a nineteen-year-old Elvis Presley, the local teenager whose first record, "That's All Right," had just debuted on Memphis radio. Jerry Schilling foi o anjo da guarda de Elvis, de Lisa Marie e, até os dias de hoje, é um grande amigo de Priscilla. Volim taj stari nostalgični zvuk 50-tih i 60-tih godina prošlog stoljeća, a on je jedan od najvećih začetnika upravo takvog zvuka i glazbe. You had worded it very classy saying " we had once prided the world itself on our us against them spirit-but now the difference in lifestyles and attitudes among us made it increasingly harder to pull together as a group" in essence you were growing apart.U mnogim recenzijama drugih Elvisovih knjiga, a posebno one Priscille Presley, pročitala sam da ga Schilling opisuje u malo boljem svijetlu od onoga kakav je zaista bio.
