Bill Bixby "Is Elvis Alive" Television Specials.....

[ajr]

yes no wonder, geraldo exposed them for what tey were and are -hucksters.

I don't want to get involved in any arguements here .......but, GBG just brought all the questions out that so many fans were asking at the time. I don't think she was a "huckster " in any way.

Geraldo didn't expose anyone ........just his ignorance and arrogance .

AJR:

I know everyone on this thread appreciates the fact that you've made these videos available, so speaking for all of us I just wanted to say a formal thank-you - for collecting them, for converting them (or having them converted), and for posting them where we can all see them.

To each his own - I personally don't believe Elvis still walks the earth, but I find the myth of his survival fascinating, especially as it says so much about the fan's relationship with the man.

Deep thanks again - I'm so thrilled to have these in my collection at last.

[Tony Trout]

Monte just re-released his book in 2004 . He was to release his other book, Elvis Calling.....but, he seems to have backed out of that.
Must have gotten more attention than he bargained for.

I wonder how difficult that book is to find?? I looked on Ebay with no luck...and I'm afraid to try purchasing it through the publisher for fear I might get ripped off like I did with the Rober Holton book, "The King Is Dead" (which I still haven't gotten a copy of yet).....

[ajr]

Thanks, Jim.....it just became a hobby of mine. But, I wanted all the fans to see for themselves just what really happened .
I don't think Bixby solved a thing. There were "experts "on the first show & "experts "on the second show. I'm not sure why it was decided that we had to believe the second set of 'experts."
I have no idea if Elvis died in 1977 or not. He's not talked to me.
But, it's an interesting mystery. There certainly were a lot of people covering up things in 1977.
I just hated that some fans were "fooled" by some claiming to be Elvis or know where he is.

Tony;
I ordered Monte's book through Living The Dream Press. The name of his book is The Presley Arrangement.
It was good for 1987. I'm sure it shook a lot of people up then.
The ISBN 0-9761764-2-4 . I'm glad I finally got it. The old one was at a rediculously high price, IF you could find it.

We didn't have any problem getting Robert Holtons book either .
Maybe, you came into this mystery too late .
Keep looking, I bet you can find all you're searching for.

I found the link to that publishing site.

Of course Elvis is dead, we've had some heated debate about this on here before.

The Bixby specials just rehashed the same old crap.

I'll say one thing though. That audiotape of "Elvis" that Brewer-Giorgio offered with her book (and that was played on one of the specials from memory) was easily the best vocal imitation of Elvis I've ever heard. Of course, we fans knew it wasn't him, but it was the closest I've ever heard to Elvis' voice.

If his impersonation was used for that computer-generated ad for BBC radio, then it would've been perfect!

Years later, a Canadian man (I think he was a DJ) admitted it was him doing the voice on US TV, and did the impersonation again. And that ***** GBG is probably still out there peddling her trash ...

[ajr]

I've never understood why anyone should have a "heated debate" on whether Elvis is dead or alive. Who is it hurting ? Who is being threatened?

It seems to be threatening some belief systems, that's all.
Let people discuss not debate a difference of opinion.
IF one is allowed to discuss his "drug taking" and his "sex life" ....how much less can it hurt to discuss whether he lived or died?
Personally, I'd be thrilled to discover that he didn't die .
Amazing , the things "Elvis fans {?} " fight about .

[meg]

Elvis alive? That?s sheer nonsense

[srj1967]

I've never understood why anyone should have a "heated debate" on whether Elvis is dead or alive. Who is it hurting ? Who is being threatened?

Because it is stupid to discuss something that couldn't possibly be true. There is no solid evidence, and it is just wishful thinking on the part of *****s and money-grubbers.

The debate hurts no person, but it does a disservice to his memory and the man himself.

Further, perpetuating this infuriating theory within the Elvis world makes fans and the Elvis world in general look even more bizarre to the "outside world". Do you remember the early- to mid-eighties when the "Is Elvis Alive?" debate was at its peak? Elvis' credibility and that of his fans was in the toilet. The whole theory is - rightly - regarded by outsiders as a joke.

Elvis' credibility has been clawed back in the 21st Century - for a variety of reasons - and entertaining the possibility of him still being alive can only serve to make him and his fans look like fools.

Yes, anyone who believes Elvis is alive is *****. And anyone in the Elvis world and on this forum who believes the theory is beneath contempt (or at least my contempt anyway).

Other aspects of Elvis' life ... his music, his love life, his movies, his concerts, his drug-taking etc ... are provable things that actually happened.

Elvis Presley (physically) died on August 16, 1977. End of story.

The bigger dis-service & hurting Elvis is to talk of any drug use and his personal life because you nor anyone else doesn't know one thing about it !!

The morans are the ones that refuse to see this.
The ones that make the money are the ones that were supposed to be his friends; by telling all the wild , hateful stuff about him. Now, that's sick and uncalled for & beneath contempt.

And BTW: IMO; Elvis would get a bigger laugh at people arguing if he's "dead or alive" than he would talking about any drug use or his private life.
I could care less what anyone thinks of me .
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
I just might have the last laugh.

AJR,

Thanks for the link. I'm still wary 'bout ordering the book because I still haven't heard a word about the Robert Holton book, either....no emails and no phone calls...nada...

Mr. Holton offered to send me a copy of the book, "The King Is Dead", to read then send back to him after I read it but I'd rather try to find my own copy of the book so I can keep it and not have to worry 'bout sending it back....

I'll keep y'all posted....

Take Care,
Tony T.

[ajr]

Anytime, Tony.

IF I know something, happy to pass it on. If I don't, I'll just keep my mouth shut.

Here's a link to Holton's book on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/King-Dead-Robe...477467-9987216

Surprised you didn't get it. I hope they didn't keep your money .
I think we ordered ours from that Katco or something like that.

Mr Holton is a nice man for sure.Call him.

AJR,

I first bought the book on Ebay and got my money refunded via PayPal. I then called Katco and left Ryan a message...he's never called me back...not even once...I placed an order for the book through Katco via PayPal...still no book...and no response from Katco....

I did call Mr. Holton and he informed me that there aren't any more copies of the book left and he offered to send me his only copy to read and send back to him...but I don't want to do that...I hope I've not gotten ripped off again....I so badly want to read that book....

[ajr]

I'd order it from Amazon ;as they're larger.
Cancel the order from Katco .

Couldn't help but notice Esposito's book there .......almost $50.00 !!
Now who's trying to make money off Elvis ??
I heard it wasn't very good either .

I don't buy anything from Joe.

AJR,

How do I cancel the order from Katco and get a refund? How can I be sure that the book is available from Amazon to order?? I don't wanna order it from Amazon in case the book (once again) isn't available to order....

By the way...what does "AJR" stand for?

Take Care,
Tony T.

[ajr]

Tony,
I'd get in touch with PayPal , complain & tell them to stop the transaction & why.
I went so far on Amazon to order this book; that all I had to do was enter my credit card number; just now.

ajr is the initials of my name .....

If neither you nor I know nothing about Elvis and his life, then what is the point of this forum, or of discusing him at all? I think, after 40 years as a fan, I am more than qualified to talk about the man, and I think I know him as well as someone can who never actually met him (unfortunately).

As for his drug use ... it happened, and has been confirmed by enough sources to be worthy of serious discussion.


To be honest, I'm not interested though in what Elvis would've thought about our topics of discussion, nor whether he'd laugh or cry about fans' discussion topics.

Yes, everyone is entitled to an opinion, and having an opinion - and expressing it on forums like this - means it should be open to scrutiny and examination of the facts. And there are no facts whatsoever to support the contention that Elvis is alive. Every theory has been and can be disproved with real facts and logic.

If you seriously believe Elvis is alive, then you already know my opinion on that. AJR, you haven't directly said whether or not you believe Elvis is alive ... so, do you? It's a yes or no answer by the way. Don't cop out and say you're "open" to the idea ... either you do or you don't.

So, is Elvis alive AJR? And are there any others here who HONESTLY believe he still walks among us?

[ajr]

To be honest; I don't think you're a fan. So ,what is it?? You just like to get on these things & act like you know everything & try to intimidate people?
Back off me, man !! I've been a fan a bit longer than you & I have met him !!
Believe me, he wouldn't put up with people like you.
So, just go your way & let the people that do care what he'd think do the talking.
I was having a conversation with Tony; you butted in.

I answered your question in post #24 . Read it .

Touchy, aren't we AJR? You have insulted me openly on this forum and I shall be reporting you to the moderators.

This thread is actually about the "Is Elvis Alive?" theories stemming from the Bixby specials. If you want to have a conversation with Tony about your eBay problems, do it privately.

Okay, you met Elvis. Good for you. I wish I'd met him. You've been a fan longer than me. That's wonderful. Your collection is probably larger than mine. Great. So, on the Elvis fan scale, you definitely have more points than me.

Impressive. A round of applause for AJR, everyone.

I've been on this forum longer than you .. does that make me any better than you? No, of course not.

You're just hurt that someone like me disagress with you over Elvis being alive. I thought this forum was for robust debate, but perhaps I am mistaken.

You don't think I'm a fan? *** are you to decide that?

Don't ever impugn my respect and love for Elvis, nor question that I am a fan. Did I do this to you, or say you weren't a fan? No. I merely questioned why you would actually believe Elvis was still alive. I can guarantee you the vast majority of fans on here believe otherwise. Unlike you, I accept there are different types of fans, and I am genuinely interested in their opinions about Elvis and like to ask questions of them.

I also like to back up any of my claims and opinions with reasons as to why I've come to my conclusions etc.

So, again, I pose you this question: do you wish to tell us why you think he's still alive? Which of the "evidence" do you believe?

Relax, AJR, and don't take things so personally. There was never any personal attack towards you on here from me, and I would expect the same courtesy.

[ajr]

Evidently, you do think it makes you better. You bait people.
I could care less what you say, but you need to leave me alone.
I only was answering Tony's question.

This is very childish of you.
If you read my post; you will see I never said he is alive.

I do however, enjoy studying the mystery and cover ups of that day.
I don't however, think you or anyone else has proof that he died.
Please show the death certificate & the autopsy report .
I'd love to see it.
