Our pal Postcriptus sent us this gem of an insight…
“I'm reading a history of Scientology. Peggy Lipton at one point got Elvis to go into the Scientology center on Sunset. They start testing him, but Elvis soon comes back out saying, "Fuck these people! There's no way I'll ever get involved with this son-of-a-bitchin' group. All they want is my money." Not only is this a revelation that many of his peers failed ever to have, but his initial reaction shows that here was a man who either had little in the way of self doubt; or if he had it, then also had the moral fiber to deal with it on his own terms.”

Best Elvis story I have ever read.
Too bad his wife and daughter didn't heed his advice.
Damn straight.
Mick and I were invited to an art event in the downstairs lounge of the Aztec, in LA, where had a delightful evening with Mary Woronov. At the same time, we ran into one of our East Village cronies, a very sweet girl we hadn't seen for some time, and we were surprised to run into her, in this place at that time at that night, in this coast. But the biggest surprise was that she revealed she was the daughter of the capo di tutti capi of Scientology in Los Angeles
this reminds me of the the story about how MLK loved star trek. some people are just smart, ya know?
