Vernon Presley: Hard shell soft inside
Minnie Mae Presley: Totally innocent

Charlie Hodge: Likeable and country
Alan Fortas: Arguably one of my best friends
Red West: Truly a friend
Sonny West: Never quit talking
Larry Geller: Shallow but he thought he was deep
Dave Hebler: Pleasant and easy going
George Klein: Assumed he knew more than he did
Marvin "Gee Gee" Gambill Jr.: Simple
The Colonel: Complicated
David Stanley: Honest and tough
Billy Stanley: He always seemed lost
Rick Stanley: Funny
Dee Presley: Interesting
Priscilla Presley: Biologically lucky
Ann-Margret: Sweet kind and beautiful
Shelley Fabares: Same as above

Interesting to read. Wonder what Ginger meant by "plastic". That sure is one heck of a way to describe someone :hmm:

You can really see in these types of things, the two different sects of the MM today. Lamar and Marty have the most problems . Supposedly Lamar took a lot of stuff, from people during the hey days, and IMO it shows. I don't care much for him, but I only go off what I get to see when these types of things surface, maybe he's the greatest guy in the world.

David Stanley - Honest??!!

Is Lamar talking about the same 'Headhunter' who has attended numerous Elvis shows and conventions in the past and with what he can't remember he makes up anyway??!!

I wonder if Lamar has been in attendance at one of these shows and heard the schpiel that this guy comes away with?

I agree. I don't really care for Lamar that much either. Marty I can stand but not really Lamar.

[franny]

NEA - Maybe Lamar meant to say dishonest...it could have been a typo...I know I shouldn't judge someone I've never met...

Sonny - I was wondering why Jerry's name wasn't on there as well...
I guess he didn't make Lamar's two cent...I mean two word special list...:)

There is also no mention of the late Richard Davis on his list. Plus, it would have been interesting to hear Lamar's two-word description of the 'twisted' Albert Goldman.

I know there was a lot of controversy surrounding his collaboration with Goldman on 'that' book back in the early 80's...don't know if Lamar has really spoken his true feelings about that one or how much he is covering up?...

So true, Wendy56...
He was a little too complicated!

[EP75]

I wonder why he wasn't asked about others in EP's life like Jerry Schilling, Myrna Smith and Kathy Westmoreland? They all played a big part in EP's final years of his life. Actually more than the mafia did.

I wonder this also, I would love to see how they would describle Elvis with 1 or 2 words. I really like Kathy Westmoreland and Jerry Schilling, great people.

That's cold......................:cold:

but funny.......................:lmfao:


I like what he said about Ginger Alden....she is a total fake.(y)

[franny]

Joan Deary: Didn't know her
Felton Jarvis: Ambitious good song man

By the way, who are these two...I don't know them...Does anyone know?

Felton was Elvis' record producer throughout the years and was responsible for many Elvis albums such as "How Great Thou Art", "Elvis Country", etc. etc.

Joan Deary was an RCA Executive and was responsible for such album projects as the 25th Anniversary Silver Box Set in 1980. I think she was possibly the 'Ernst Jorgensen' of her day(?).

Thanks, NEA...
Joan Dreary...the name did sound a bit familiar, but I couldn't place it...

franny...:)
