[elvis1970s]

On November 15th, 1972, Elvis played the 15 000 seat Long Beach Civic Arena, for the second of two nights. The show was captured in an audience recording.

The Long Beach Press-Telegram;

"…He’s the King and even if he seemed a little bored with the audience; his routines trite, painfully coached and contrived, he was still good. Gone is the sneer. Gone, the gyrating hips - tucked neatly into a girdle cinch which he wore underneath a white jumpsuit with the silver studs and garish gold belt. Gone, too, is his wife. And Wednesday night, the King seemed a little bit melancholy, a little preoccupied with his own problems to really get into a dialogue with the audience… His voice is mature - grown rich with life. His smile is warm and magical…"

The Valley News;

"…Elvis Presley managed to present an inspiring performance last week at the Long Beach Arena despite lacklustre supporting acts and a distracting hard sell of his posters and records before the show and during intermission. He thrilled the 15,000-sell-out crowd with many of his early hits along with a few more recent songs… Elvis used everything in his bag of tricks including wildly swinging hips, exaggerated vocal style and even tossing several of his scarfs to the crowd. Still, despite the dramatics, Presley has a rock-gospel voice that can't be beat by any current singer. His showmanship only adds to the entertainment, helping to make Elvis concerts more than just a musical treat…Overall, Presley's portion of the show was quite enjoyable and was good enough to overcome the weakness of the concert package as a whole…"

Marty Pasetta, an accomplished maker of entertainment and variety programmes for television, assigned by NBC to produce and direct the upcoming satellite TV special to be known as Aloha From Hawaii, was in town to get a feel for the performance before actually meeting with Elvis to discuss some set design and production matters. Pasetta found the concert musically strong but visually boring, not conducive to exciting television, that Elvis needed to move more on stage ('He stood there like a lump', Pasetta said in a later interview), and lose a little weight before the broadcast.

Having argued with a predictably belligerent Colonel Parker, Pasetta nervously presented his proposed stage and lighting designs during a slightly bizarre meeting with Elvis and some members of the Memphis Mafia, who wore sunglasses indoors and who prominently displayed their handguns. When Pasetta directly broached the tricky subject of Elvis’ weight, the excruciating tension dissolved into Elvis’ laughter, and a promise that he would do everything Pasetta asked of him to ‘make super magic for the tube, together’.

The tour concluded with three sold out shows at the Honolulu International Centre, Hawaii, on November 17th and 18th, where more details of the upcoming satellite show would be revealed. Elvis played just two more shows at the Long Beach Arena, with matinee and evening performances on April 25th, 1976.

Recording of an interview of Hawaiʻi, 9 September 2022. Interviewed by Mahinanuioalii “Mahina” Wakabayashi of the Myosotis Project. Transcribed by Angel Canesta.

[Start Recording]

[Shuffling of Papers]

Interviewer: September 9th, 2022. Interview with the State of Hawaiʻi about the role of Propaganda in the Second World War. Hello Miss Hawaiʻi, my name is Mahina Wakabayashi. It is an honor and a pleasure to be able to meet you face to face.

State of Hawaiʻi: It’s very nice to meet you, too. Wakabayashi. That’s a nice last name. You related to Charlie Boy?

Interviewer: No, Ma’am.

Hawaiʻi: Shame, he’s a good boy. [Long pause.] So what, I don’t get Miss Corbelha to question me about this? I thought Sera would be the questioner, she’d like this kind of information for her editing of that biography she’s making. Anyways, what was the topic again?

Interviewer: She wished to, but unfortunately, Sera’s schedule didn’t allow it. And we are speaking about propaganda during the Second World War, Miss Hawaiʻi.

Hawaiʻi: Right. Oh, f*ck, I was in quite a few of those films and posters, wasn’t I? Don’t remember all of them. Those years were very blurry for me, with the martial law and all fogging up my brain. 

Interviewer: How exactly did martial law affect you? We know very little from first-hand sources what something on that level of almost mind control to be. What was that like?

Hawaiʻi: Sort of like a dream. You vaguely know something’s wrong, but you don’t question it. You watch, and you don’t speak back, and you say, “Yes, Sir, yes, I will let you take photos of me in clothing no man nor woman in the war effort would ever wear.” Those stupid little skirts were the bane of my existence.

Interviewer: I completely understand. And what was it like being “woken up”?

Hawaiʻi: Am I allowed to be blunt on this thing? It was a nightmare to finally have your mind cleared enough to think about just how fu—I mean, messed up it all was, and then you see all these posters, all these propaganda pieces are putting back years of work to be respected. Though I suppose it was never a matter of respect at all. 

[Insert Bullshit Here]

Interviewer: Were you aware of what sort of propaganda was being made, and did you have any say into what was created using your image?

Hawaiʻi: Kuʻuipo, most of it I wasn't aware of at all. They took my likeness and ran with it because they were allowed to do so during a time when I couldn’t say no to anything. It was patriotic to want to protect the poor little territory woman, and it was patriotic for me to be the face of that. Though, I think the one recurring piece that surprised me the most was all the Avenge Pearl Harbor posters that used the same illustration of me sobbing into my hands. Never knew who drew that.

Interviewer: I have seen some of those pamphlets and posters. 

Hawaiʻi: It was to pull on the heartstrings. Make you sympathetic. And by God, it worked. Of course, there were a few that depicted me as strong and capable, mostly used in the islands themselves. 

Interviewer: It sounds like something you really would have hated.

Hawaiʻi: It was. Being completely honest, I would have much rather been on the battlefront in the Philippines. I’d rather have been one of the ones taking them back. Though, Lika was right in benching me, because he knew I’d be reckless. I would have done something stupid. 

Interviewer: But it would have been more respectful to you as the territory than what you did do during the War, wouldn’t it?

Hawaiʻi: In some ways, it would have been. But the homefront needed people. Where would those recaptured territories have gone if not to me? Where would the Polynesian Outliers have gone? Most of the other states or territories available wouldn’t have known what to make of them. Of course, I can whine about being a propaganda piece or someone to pose and take pictures with or someone in the dance halls, but in the end, I was a part of the war effort. No matter how humiliating it is.

Interviewer: That sounds like it. 

Hawaiʻi: It was. Let’s talk about something different. Something relating to the topic. Oh, I had mentioned about the dance halls, didn’t I?

Interviewer: Yes, you did. I don’t understand how that is rela—[Cut off by Hawaiʻi]

Hawaiʻi: Don’t underestimate live people as propaganda. I loved dancing, even the more American dances, especially after the 20s and leading up to the Second World War. I’m rusty on the foxtrot and jitterbug and such. One of the few good things during the war were the dance halls. Oh, lots of haole men there, but there were quite a few cute wāhine as well. I remember learning the men’s side of the dances in hopes there would be less men than women one day and I’d get to play the other side for a moment.

Interviewer: I…

Hawaiʻi: Oh, there was a girl there, around ‘35. She looked a bit like you. Didn’t end up as anything. And then there was Rachel, Rachel was there a lot during the war times. All young girls, a lot of them ended up as Navy wives. Or Navy mistresses. Oh, I could tell you a story from the War about how my friend became the breaking point for a Naval Officer’s messy divorce with his wife in New York.  

Interviewer: While I would love to hear about this, I do think we need to stay on topic. 

Hawaiʻi: Your loss. I’ll tell Sera about it at our next Zoom meeting.

Interviewer: Right. Was the fact that you are—and were—noticeably a Person of Colour during this time affect the propaganda in any way?

Hawaiʻi: Somewhat, depending on what was being portrayed. In more patriotic illustrations to spur the public into the home effort, because “Hawaiʻi is putting her all and so should you!” my eyes were widened, and my lips thinned. My hair was straightened at times, but some liked my wild curls better.

Interviewer: So you were whitewashed for a mainland audience.

Hawaiʻi: Yes, though mostly to get rid of more “Asiatic” characteristics. The Japanese were our enemies during the war, so I couldn’t look Japanese. A third of my population was Japanese. How could I not look like the enemy while still looking like me? And so they needed me to look the part. I still remember the blonde phase.

Interviewer: The what?

Hawaiʻi: I thank God that most of those films are considered lost media in this day and age. There’s around, oh, I don’t know, maybe twenty old films of me with my bleached hair.

Interviewer: Well, out of those twenty or so, there are few propaganda videos available to the public in archives and sites such as YouTube. What was it like to be involved in the making of those films?

Hawaiʻi: I wasn’t exactly a willing actor. At the beginning of the war, a few months after martial law started, I was “suggested” by the military government to work with a propaganda film crew. I was “suggested” to get my hair bleached and “suggested” to allow myself to be used as a face for the home to return to.

Interviewer: I don’t think I can imagine you with blonde hair, Miss Hawaiʻi.

Hawaiʻi: Well, it’s a piece of trivia I don’t tell many people. My face never did look quite right to me after the war, more so than usual. It scared me to see what I’d be like if I was white-passing or even just not as dominantly Asian as I am. My hair was damaged for a long while after. It took me years to get it to look somewhat normal.

Interviewer: That is horrible.

Hawaiʻi: It was. Oh well, what can you do when you’re unable to say no?

Interviewer: The immediate aftermath of the Second World War was an ongoing struggle to become a state. Do you think that any of this propaganda from the war furthered or hindered your efforts?

Hawaiʻi: I don't really know. I think the “Hulahula Girl” craze of the 50s and 60s wasn’t helped by how I was portrayed to the soldiers who were stationed here, and worst off, the Navy. If you know me at all, you know that my history with the United States Navy was less than pleasant for most of my time as an American.

Interviewer: So I have heard. Was the Navy involved at all in the propaganda you were in?

Hawaiʻi: Not that I remember. They could have. They wouldn’t have told me, anyway. I remember there was this one man who was in nearly all the films I was in, sometimes as a lead, sometimes not. He was in the Navy at one point or another, I think. Charles something. He was… He was kind to me during it all. 

Interviewer: That must have been a patch of light for you.

Hawaiʻi: He was kind to me because he thought I was weak because I am a woman. But kindness is kindness, all the same, I suppose. I wonder what became of him. I wonder if he was real.

Interviewer: If he was real? But you remember him; he should have existed, right?

Hawaiʻi: Remember how I said the martial law era was foggy to me? Nothing is exactly concrete, and I have been assured some of the things I remembered didn’t happen. I do hope he was real.

Interviewer: If you would like, after the interview, I can request some of the films we collected for the archive, and we’ll see if we can find and identify him. It would be good to know the identities of the people within the films.

Hawaiʻi: [Her voice softens] That would be lovely. Thank you, Kuuipo.

Interviewer: It’s nothing, Miss Hawaiʻi, don’t worry. What sorts of films were you in?

Hawaiʻi: I’m not someone who’s very knowledgeable about types of films, but I know there was at least one full-length movie, several shorts, and a few… Aue, you know, da kine?

Interviewer: PSAs? Public Service Announcements?

Hawaiʻi: Exactly what I was thinking about. Propaganda was easy to make. I was restricted to background roles for many, and I am happy for that. I am not an actress and never have been one. 

Interviewer: Do you think any of the propaganda was effective?

Hawaiʻi: Of course it was. But we would have made it anyway. [Her voice fills with contempt.] Anything to rally the troops to beat Japan. Anything to bring her to her knees and regret touching the perfect little territory woman. Anything to make soldiers care about a territory that was partially the exact race they hated so much.

Interviewer: Your relationship with the Empire of Japan, it was— [question cut off by Hawaiʻi]

Hawaiʻi: My relationship with that is for another time. When I’m not sober enough to shut you down. Propaganda, right? Any more questions on that?

Interviewer: Sorry for my intrusion, Miss Hawaiʻi. 

Hawaiʻi: It’s nothing. Just… What else do you want to know?

Interviewer: That’s about it, about propaganda. Thank you so much for your participation, Miss Hawaiʻi.

Hawaiʻi: It was my pleasure, Kuuipo. Aloha nui loa. I hope this interview gave you the information you seek. So, do I hit this button?

Interviewer: Oh, I can do it. Don’t worry about it.

Propaganda video starring Hawaiʻi believed to have been made in late 1942. Transcribed by Carmen Nielson.

[Video opens up to a blonde Hawaiʻi sitting at a desk, smiling. It is not a smile that looks fake, but still one that looks wrong.]

Hawaiʻi [Accent is more typical of a Standard American Accent]: Hello, my fellow Americans. While the young boys of the front are undertaking the war, there are many things that you at home can do to help the war effort. One of the most important things you can do to help our boys is buy war bonds and help ensure that they are well-fed and well-supplied. I hope that all of you will do your part in helping with the war and avenging myself for the cowardly attack on myself by the Empire of Japan.

[Video opens up to Hawaiʻi lying in a hospital bed, with bandages wrapped around her arms and head. Her hair is not blonde. Hawaiʻi looks to be in pain, but the expression seems forced]

Hawaiʻi [smiling]: The cowardly attack against me by Japan has left me injured and broken. I am unable to defend myself in my time of need. I ask of you, able-bodied men of America, to join our forces in defending the coward and defending me from any future attack. I plead for your help and your assistance. I know that you, brave men of America, can defeat this threat and bring peace back to my islands.

Recording of an Interview with America and Caleb, alters of the “US System,” 18 September 2022, Interviewed and Transcribed by Carmen Nielson of the Myosotis Project.

[recording begins]

Interviewer: Hello. It’s nice to meet you. All of you…sorry, I have never met anyone with DID before, and I hope I do not offend anyone.

America: It’s alright, we don’t mind, so long as you aren’t trying to be rude. My name is America, and I am the one currently fronting right now. Caleb is close right now, and we might switch. We’ll be sure to let you know if that does happen. I also might start dissociating during the interview, so if I start doing that, just give us time.

Interviewer: Okay, thank you. Now, onto the subject of today’s interview, World War Two propaganda involving the State of Hawaiʻi.

America: Not my proudest moment. Of course, I was never involved in the making of the propaganda, being busy with war, but…I was the reason why Hawaiʻi even went along with it in the first place, with martial law and my orders for her to stay on her islands and not fight.

Interviewer: Why did you order her to do that?

America [with a sigh]: Because she’s a hothead, because she was friends with Japanese Empire because I didn’t want her to be hurt. It was a whole mix of reasons. I admit I was motivated some by my initial feelings after the attack. Guåhan, my daughter, had been captured by the Japanese Empire, and my son was in the Philippines, a place that all my prewar military plans planned to abandon. I…[America lets out a deep breath] I was losing too many people, and I thought that if I let her fight, she would become lost to me as well. And I can’t stand that.

Interviewer: So you made her stay against her will?

America: Yes, I did. Not everyone agreed with me, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the universe can somehow tell when I’m fronting, I’m pretty sure James would have stopped it.

Interviewer: What? What does that mean?

America: Martial law commands can only be given by two entities. One is obvious: the military government. As long as someone is a part of that government, they can command the personification. The second, if applicable, is the…country in charge? Not sure how to word that. But basically, if the personification is a statehuman like Hawaiʻi, then I, as the country she is a part of, can also command her. It doesn’t just work for states but also any form of subdivision under martial law. That being said, even though we all share the same body, if one of the others is fronting, they can’t command Hawaiʻi. James tried so she could fight, but it didn’t work. It only works when I am fronting. I guess…I guess since I’m the only one here who’s actually the country. It makes sense, but it’s odd that whatever martial law control is, it can tell who’s fronting.

Interviewer: That’s…really interesting.

[America gives a little laugh]

America: It is, yeah. But after I gave Hawaiʻi that order, I just…I ignored her and her land. I got so focused on the war and doing what was needed for that, which was a lot of diplomacy with the other Allies. I never commanded her to do anything else, and the military government wasn’t going to change the commands.

Interviewer: Could they have done that?

America: Of course, they could. They are the true ones that were in control of Hawaiʻi. While I could do a little as the country, martial law, and its control originated with them. They always have more power relating to it.

Interviewer: That’s…worrying for you guys, I bet. 

America: It was, yes. Now, we have gotten a bit off-topic, and while I don’t have much to say about the effect of martial law and propaganda on Hawaiʻi, not stuff that I feel comfortable sharing, Caleb has some things he would like to talk about involving that.

Interviewer: Caleb being on of your alters, correct?

America: Yes. He’s here right now, so I’m going to let him come up front.

[There is a pause of about ten seconds]

Caleb [The accent now being used differs from the Standard American one being used by America and is instead a Georgian accent]: Hello, Ms. Nielsen. My name is Caleb, he/they. I’m a human alter and one of the alters that is closer to Hawaiʻi.

Interviewer: Nice to meet you, Caleb.

Caleb: I know these are meant to be interviews with countryfolk, so I apologize for intrudin’, but I just had to say my part.

Interviewer: You are a part of the same…system as America, so I think you are close enough to count for these interviews. After all, you have spent your entire life sharing a body, and a more human perspective on country things is never a bad thing.

Caleb: Good. Well, I hated the martial law. It changed Wai. It made her less her. It’s hard to explain, I think, but it was like watching her get drained of who she was and replaced by a shitty-ass copy of herself, pardon my French.

Interviewer: What do you mean by that?

Caleb: I mean, her culture got turned into a product, and her the advertisement. She…she was a hothead, and now she wasn’t. She fought for herself, and now she would lie down and let others walk all over her. It was wrong. It wasn’t her. She…she would say she was fine, but then do something so horrifically out of character. She was blonde, for fuck’s sake! I didn’t see it much, as America was ordered away, but what I did see was…disturbing to me.

Interviewer: Why did it affect you so much? What about it made it disturbing?

Caleb: I…spent so much of my life pretending to be America. We had to so we could be normal. So…it…it reminded me of that, except instead of being done out of necessity like it was with America and me, it was done out of a desire to warp Hawaiʻi into a docile little white American. It wasn’t done to protect her or anyone else. It was just done to control her. It’s…it’s horrific that humans can be granted that kind of control over a person.

Interviewer: Do you think this propaganda and martial law changed Hawaiʻi?

Caleb: How could it not? Martial law will always warp the person it’s on. [Caleb sighs] Especially if, after martial law, the social environment wants to enforce wherever change was made. That’s what—

[Caleb cuts himself off suddenly, and there are a few moments of silence]

Interviewer: Caleb?

Caleb: Mmm…sorry. James didn’t want me to talk about that. Sorry. But…uh…it’s hard to get over that. I’m not going to speak for Hawaiʻi…but that changed her and hurt her—a lot. She burned a lot of it, the paper stuff. She destroys it when she can. She doesn’t want to remember. But I can’t seem to forget.

Interviewer: Is there anything else you would like to talk about?

Caleb: Nothing that wouldn’t get us off topic. I…there’s lots to say about Hawaiʻi and how we as a system and as a country have treated her and changed her. I think that it is better to leave it for another time. Or, you know, for that biography that that one woman is doing. 

Interviewer: Well then, thank you for coming, Caleb and America.

Caleb: It was our pleasure.

The image itself consists of a racist caricature of a Japanese man holding out an olive branch that says “Peace” on it. The Japanese man has an image of the Nazi swastika on his right shoulder. In front of the Japanese man is Hawaiʻi, with her hair cut short and colored blonde. She looks white in the image.

Two more.

Just two mixings from Facebook this week,but they're good'uns. Hope you enjoy them.

Mix #225 Coconut Doppelgänger

1.5oz coconut rum 1oz pineapple rum 1/2oz velvet falernum 1oz lime juice 1/4oz orgeat 1/4oz simple syrup 3 dashes Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour into glass.

I found this in Tiki Recipes on Facebook. It's sweet with a coconut base and spice on the end. Very nice. It was apparently created for a German brand of rum. I can't find their rum on this side of the Atlantic,but their recipe was good,so I'm guessing their rum isn't bad either. If you're in Europe you might want to give it a try.

Mix #226 Two Metres Apart Gets You One Step Closer To Paradise

2oz dark Jamaican rum 1/2oz amaro* 3/4oz falernum 1oz pineapple juice 1oz grapefruit juice 1/2oz lime juice Angostura bitters

Shake with ice and pour into glass. Top with bitters and some grated nutmeg.

*See below.

The longest-named drink I've made,this was also found while perusing Tiki Recipes. It was created during COVID by the Shameful Tiki Room bars in Canada. It was intended to be made with an amaro such as Campari or Aperol,but the poster said it was very bitter,so I decided to swap in Disaronno. Mine turned out sweetish with some spice and a bit of tart on the end. Quite a nice drink. If you like bitter,then use the original amaro,otherwise my tweak will make it sweet. Or try both to see which you like best.

So that's it for this installment. Halloween is just around the corner,so stay tuned for some spooky drinks. Aloha!
