    Re: Elvis In The Kitchen

    Yet another wasted licensing agreement by EPE!!! $65 for a toaster just because it is "officially sanctioned" by EPE??? RIDICULOUS!!!!

    Just another example of how EPE has absolutely NO grasp of the economic downturn that so many of the fans are currently experiencing!! If they did, perhaps they would do something to help out the fans that have kept them in business all these years instead of proudly announcing $65 Elvis toasters!!!

    When I read about the crap they license and then read that they don't want to release the last tv special because they only want to show Elvis at his best.........

    Lets look at it this way,a certain segment of Elvis fans-loves this stuff.
    "If you build it-they will come!" (to steal a phrase from the film Field of Dreams)
    To these fans it is an addition to the hobby they love adding to with pride-anything connected to Elvis.
    I myself am not one of those-but as long as some people are-more and more things will be marketed that some will not like.
    I would love more music-but realise they do not own it nor even get artist royaltees for most of it, and I love the films and live appearance videos which they also do not own most of.
    Not sure how to stop this type of marketing-as long as someone buys, it will be made.

    connected with Elvis

    that's the problem - anything you can slap a name or image on, isn't connected

    there's no Elvis kitchen appliance connection - Elvis music players - sure: iElvis


    but that's the part of the problem that the fans contributed to - we collectively buy anything with Elvis name or image on it

    we get the products we deserve
