I'm going to be honest, I really do think Albert Goldman wrote the way he did about Elvis and John (primarily) because they were 'working class' guys that mimicked black music - the 'unskilled' and 'deviant' music - and he never got over it.

The specific focus on Elvis being filthy and sexually impotent + John being degenerate and lazy and stupid gives enough away, but you can see it best when he's trying to mimic their speech, and clearly inserts his own bias as a way of putting them down further. There's something funny in a dark sort of absurd way about the John book if you've had your nose in it for a while, but mostly it's just your brain's way of scrubbing over how crusty and pathetic it is.

Anyway, for a laugh:

(Martin Amis)

I've seen some of those tabloid articles that make fun of Elvis say something along the lines of 'he had to wear diapers towards the end of his life" because of either his drug problem or just the issues with his colon.

Even if this were true...why make fun of him for it? A twisted colon is no laughing matter.

tw: death, talk of addiction to prescription drugs, bodily functions

it’s just heartbreaking to see that nothing has changed since the 70s regarding how we view mental and physical health because the same comments are being made about Elvis today, as they were made back then

On Twitter a couple months ago someone spread a rumor that Elvis didn’t defecate for 4 months prior to his passing (not true and he would have had a ruptured colon if that were the case)

And it was truly horrible to see all the tweets about him…mocking his death, making a joke of his health issues and the depression he likely suffered from, as well as his addiction to prescription medication

I can’t believe anybody could be so unsympathetic that they could find humor in a situation where a man suffered so much physically that he ultimately succumbed to his illnesses, and died alone when he was only 42 … it makes me so upset to see people make a mockery of him

As for having to wear diapers, just from what I have read, it was not something consistent and it was an extremely rare occurrence… I honestly hate that people who knew him ever even talked about it because it is something so incredibly private

According to Billy Smith “He had that bowel problem with a twisted colon, or a paralyzed colon, which kept him from going to the bathroom. Albert Goldman wrote that a lot of times Elvis lost control of his bowels in the last couple years. He makes it sound like he was practically in diapers. Most of the time, Elvis could control it. He was still quite proud, and he was cautious about things like that. When it did happen, it was almost like he broke down. He was embarrassed, and it was best you didn’t talk”

Lamar Fike said “I think the diapers have been exaggerated. But that’s not a lie. They put towels down to keep him from defecating in bed. He would be so damn drugged up, he couldn’t make it to the bathroom. That’s a clue to a person losing it. By late ’75, early ’76, it became a real problem. Everybody just tried to ignore it. But I would tell Colonel and Dr. Nick, “God Almighty, this guy is really, really sick. He’s going on us!”

Billy Smith also added “One time, he messed in the bed at Graceland, and one of the maids cleaned it up. And she suggested, just in case it happened again, to put a towel under him. But Elvis would never have been wrapped in a diaper or had a towel put around him. From then on, he always walked to the bathroom. But even that was dangerous. Because it was not unusual for him to fall asleep in the bathroom. He would take sleeping pills and get up and go to the bathroom, and the first thing you knew they’d hit him, and he never would make it back to the bed. He’d fall right there in the floor and go sound to sleep. If there was nobody there to help him, he would just lay there until somebody found him. But many times, they’d buzz me, and I’d have to come out and help get him up”

Albert drew attention to himself at the first anarchist meeting he attended, at the national Trade Union Club in New Oxford Street, by speaking up in defence of boxing, which was being loudly criticised by the speaker, Emma Goldman! Later, in January 1937, Goldman denounced Albert as ‘a young rascal and hooligan’, after he and Billy Campbell set fire to a stand glorifying Franco at a British fascist exhibition. Albert never really changed in that respect. With his boxer’s instinct, he was always up for a fight, convinced that action was worth more than words when it came to winning battles.

Fantastic 😂

Honestly, the Corinthian may surprisingly enough be the best Albert of the bunch

But in his heart of hearts, he is this shot:

My biggest challenge in crafting cosplay

It was the year 2015 when my cosband decided to make a perfect cosplay on, suddenly, the card game Magic the Gathering. We chose planeswalkers because this setting has a lot of characters, but only planeswalkers are more popular and well-known than others.

We met at a café to decide which characters we would choose to participate in the big event in another big city. My friend made a great choice, beautiful Lera picked up terrifying Elesh Norn, very tall Albert decided to make furry Goldmane Ajani, and the lightest Lin chose the heaviest Chandra. But I decided to make my dream come true and craft a dragon. So my choice was Dragon-God, Nicol Bolas.

When I mentioned my decision, one friend answered, Really? You will never make a huge dragon, with your height, your Bolas will look like a silly Pokémon. Ha! I said, "You don’t have any idea what I can create!" After this, I understood that I had embarked on quite an adventure. This was this challenge!

I had only three months to create this monster. Almost the whole costume I made myself, but when I realized I ran the risk of being late, I started to ask for help from family and friends. My husband helped me with sanitary pipes to make the wings base, my mom worked as a model; and when I tried to make this creature more proportional, my friends assisted with armor and painting wings. I finished the costume at night, with just 4 hours left before my train took off to the big city.

We ordered this taxi, arrived at this station, met with our friends, and didn't get on the train! My costume was too big to take on this train. My friends left without us. So we decided to buy other tickets for us and a ticket for a special place in the luggage compartment for the dragon four hours later. It was an emotional challenge, I realized that my creature required special attention everywhere, even with transportation. It is just this dragon's doom, I calmed myself down.

When we arrived at the next train one hour before departure. This new train master said, "We can’t accommodate the dragon because this costume is too big for this luggage compartment". This was contrary to what was said by staff at the station and this previous train director. It is just this dragon's doom, I was repeating in my head. This Dragon-God is just testing me. We ended up just buying a third ticket, and my little monster rode like a king in his own seat.

After an exhausting 3-month journey, I finally reached this contest. And here I am. This music is playing. I’m ready. My friends are going to the stage one by one, and each time this roar of this crowd becomes louder and louder. I make the first step on the spot and hear this woman's heartbreaking scream. This is it. I’m This Monster! I am the mind-ripper, the deathbringer, the winged dark that terrifies your dreams. I AM THIS DRAGON!

Of course, we won the Grand-pri in this contest. It was the Sony PlayStation II, but the brilliant thing I've won is the passed challenge. I crafted it, we brought it to the contest, and together we made the coolest group cosplay from MTG. And I’ve created the biggest mowing dragon cosplay in Siberia and possibly in all of Russia.
