the ELVIS cospiracy

[debtdbruno]

Supposedly Elvis was expected to choose Ginger's older sister and all we're surprised when he chose her...including her. I don't think she was prepared for that but feel like Priscilla, her family encouraged it. I think she liked Elvis to a point but I don't think she was ever in love with him nor he with her.

I also don't believe she was a complete gold digger nor as cold as she's been made out to be but I do think she was too young to handle the situation she found herself in.

Absolutely correct, how could a girl of her age have any experience in life, let alone that of a superstar who had dependencies and baggage even close friends couldn't help with?

Joe Esposito was Elvis's road manager and, yes, at one time he was his accountant (along with Marty Lacker).

Dick Grob & Sam Thompson both shared Head of Security details (if I'm deciphering Grob's book correctly - it's so darn confusing (you have to remember that this was after Red, Sonny & Dave were fired). Up to that point, it was Sonny West who was Head of Security.

Red West was both a member of the MM and a bodyguard.

Like I said, 'interesting' that so many people were so many things.
