Let's get this straight. Red LIES to ELVIS and tells him...
"Ah, we're writing the good stuff Elvis, people, the things..."
and also has the AUDACITY to tape a conversation with a friend without disclosing that he is being taped....and thinks nothing is wrong with that? :angry: *slaps forehead*

I've heard and read this before. Friends like that you don't need. Elvis sounded so defeated......:'(

It is certainly an upsetting read and you can tell ELVIS is overwhelmed by the problems with the raquet court deal especially....and is trying to let his friend know how overwhelmed he is.....ELVIS' mind keeps going to that subject.

I am so angry that RED would tape ELVIS in conversation and not tell ELVIS, and not think anything wrong with doing that...that I am seeing RED!!! :angry: So okay with it that he has the nerve to put the taped words in the book!!! :angry: How underhanded is THAT? I am outraged and can't believe more posters aren't.

Yes, ELVIS does sound so defeated. Life was caving in on him for sure....even his friends had turned to enemies.:'(

As mad as I am at Red West :angry: for taping the conversations and lying :angry: flat out to ELVIS ...there were a few things I smiled at during the read through.

ELVIS: "Lawyers, they?ll **** you blind." :lol:

ELVIS: "I enjoy my work." (y)

Elvis: "I love to sing, that?s been my thing, since I?v been two years old." (y).

Elvis: Well, you take care of yourself and your family. And if you need me for anything I, ya know, would be more than happy to, to help out.

Red: I appreciate that. I appreciate that.

This is in the transcript! What kind of friend is this? :angry:

Red didn't appreciate Elvis, when he can do that!! :mad:

A true friend would not have done that to Elvis.. pretty rotten in my book.. it is even out on Cd.. Poor Elvis was such a trusting man and look what his so called friends have said and done to him. :'( Pretty sad in my book.:doh: Dovey ;)

Thanks for that link.(y) Nice to know that others felt (feel) the same as me about Red, Sonny, Hebler, etc. Sorry to see so many of those posters with "banned" under their names though. They seem like they were pretty ELVIS knowledgable.
