THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE FOR JOKES, PRESLEY!

AN INTERESTING INSIGHT ON ELVIS' ANTICS ONSTAGE IN THE 70s AND ARTISTS' PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR CAREER

August - September 1973, Las Vegas, NV.

"Elvis had a wonderful, zany sense of humor and I think the pictures in this book are evidence of that fact. These photographs were taken in Las Vegas in August, September 1973, when Elvis was in a specially 'zany' mood. He did such things as making funny rhymes, singing silly lyrics to his songs, coming on stage piggy back with a toy monkey in his shoulder and coming on stage in bed. The show became 'the Elvis Presley comedy hour'. Actually, it seemed to be two shows going on at the same time; one show for the audience out front and the 'inside' show for the band and singers onstage. But finally, the Colonel had a talk with Elvis about it, because some people walked out and wanted their money back. They didn't like Elvis making fun of their favorite songs and the Colonel didn't like giving money back."

— Glen D. Hardin, musician on the TCB Band at the time. March 2002. Except from the book 'Elvis: Caught In A Trap" by Arjan Deelen and (pictures by) photographer Laurens von Houten.

Okay, this surprised me a lot. I guess I was too naive to imagine Elvis could displease his audience in other scenario than by a poor vocal performances he gave when he was struggling with his health, specially just for trying to enjoy his time working, having fun with the audience and his musicians. I always looked at those silly things he did onstage as what turned his shows in very singular events, like... no gig could be like the other, regardless of the setlist or the stage costumes being the same in some cases, and that's because of his spontaneity onstage, the moments he shared a bit of who he really was in his private life, someone who enjoyed laughing and making people laugh more than anything, someone who appreciated comedy. It shocked me, to be honest, to know some members of his audiences took his playfulness as unprofessional behavior or something. How in the world could they ask for the money paid to see Elvis in flesh back? As a fan, I can understand how it is when a song means too much for you and you listen to the artist not taking it seriously... It kinda spoils the mood that song gives you, taking your attention away from whatever dear memories you get from listening to certain songs with touching lyrics. I understand that. To be honest again, the first time I've heard some of Elvis' takes from recording sessions and I could see the way his mind was not really in some of the songs sometimes but rather in his own life and whatever was going on in real time in the studio, I was like 'how is that even possible? I thought that song was important to him...' and then I begin to appreciate having a glimpse of what he was like behind the scenes, but that came with time, at first I was a little disappointed but not with him, but with the way I took the songs he recorded to my heart as they were officially released, without considering the actual life of someone who makes those songs. I can understand the fans who were not pleased by Elvis' silly jokes, changing the lyrics, and I can also see why Elvis did it. He was singing practically the same "greatest hits" with little freedom to explore his less known/successful songs on stage or even feel free to sing whatever songs he was in the mood to, like a normal person can do. He was a professional and tried to balance giving what people wanted from him with not letting the boredom take his spirit (because that would show like it did in some moments in his career). I can understand his side of the issue... it must be awful to sing the same damn songs many times in a row in order to get a master take, and the same in his shows, singing the same songs day after day... There is a moment you have to be sick of it! You can't avoid it. Elvis was a person who loved novelties, loved feeling challenged, loved experiencing the world and having first times. Of course there was moments where he was singing his hits more or less in auto pilot, not intently listening or feeling the words, but just reproducing them the best way he could, in order to please his fans. But feeling sick of being stuck is a real thing, and that's when he had to be spontaneous to make the moment new to him in some way, even if with just a silly little joke. Anyhow, it's interesting to have the perceptive from an artist like that. I deeply appreciate him taking the risk of not pleasing people, because that meant he was being true to himself and was trying the best he could to take care of his own mental and emotional health.

Again, thank you @eapep for letting me know how to find this great book online. In case you want to read it too, click here (archive.org link to the uploaded file).

Death Cab's gonna have a Plans show in Chicago in August... unfortunately my enjoyment of death cab is sort of a cumulative 'i really love like, 25 songs that are scattered across their entire discography' kind of thing, so if i went to the effort of going to Chicago to see them, i'd really just be going to hear Crooked Teeth, and to a lesser extent Marching Bands of Manhattan and Soul Meets Body

btw yes hi today i am 32 years of age

Their music, once confined to the solitude of my bedroom, now cascaded over me in a wave of live sound. I sang and screamed with every fiber of my being. i felt a surge of life like never before. My voice, pushed to its limits, eventually gave out, leaving me in a raw, voiceless euphoria. Everyone shared an unspoken bond, hearts beating in sync with the intensity we felt. In that moment i never felt more emo, more alive.

“Had a busy weekend, trying to keep my mind off the exam results.”

“I don’t even remember what happened Friday after school because I fell asleep. One of the only times I’ve ever slept without dreaming or having a nightmare. It was freaky.”

“I got to hang out with Netta this weekend and we read her Upside Down Magic book. It was all about a talent show. I liked it!”

“We might do a Christmas concert this year. I hope we do! I think I’m better at channeling Classic Alvin mode now! It won’t feel like such a big deal!”

“I keep practicing! I’m making sure my voice is in tip-top shape too. Nobody’s gonna tell me I’m flat!”

“Hmmm. What else should I add? Oh, oh yeah! I took a little trip to the mall with Britt today! I even stayed put and remained quiet while she tried on a bunch of red dresses. How did I do this? Well, I channeled my “Albert” side and just daydreamed about physics the whole time.”

“Other things I did include, videogames, improv practice, running on the treadmill, and working on a puzzle with Theo!”

“I made this post too long. I’m sorry.”

A2 will be the character to cause the most on-screen and noticeable “divergences” in season 2, and I’ll even go on to say that if Accord shows up— like physically, at all— in this season, A2 will be why, in some way or another. A-1 dm’d me as such trust
