Cullowhee. telephone, 227-7397. by Samual Fain What is a book review doing in a place like this? Being an entertainment columnist, I have an obligation to provide pertinent comments concerning popular forms of entertainment. Music is entertainment, so are movies. Is literature considered entertainment'.' Does being on the New York Times 100 Best Seller list make a book entertaining? Hardly. In my opinion, a book is entertaining when it isn't drudgery just to read the introduction! ELVIS by Albert Goldman is without question an entertaining illustration of pop culture. If nothing else good is said about this book, it is clearly entertaining. Blasphemous, kinky knitpick- ing is unsurpassed in this biography of the King of Rock & Roll. Albert Goldman escorts the reader through the Music Gates of Graceland and immediately begins to giggle over trivial matters that most people would not even care to know about. From the attire that Elvis wore to the furniture and decor of his bedroom, Goldman leaves no stone unturned. Perhaps Goldman isn't happy unless he is practicing this "sado-maschistic journalism." It seems as if he enjoys making a mockefy of Elvis' bad taste and unfortunate times. It's natural for us to have a "tacky" side. However, does this justify brazen attacks on that tackiness? Goldman is becoming rich at the cost of Elvis' dignity. Elvis Presley, like all rock stars, had idiosyncrasies. We all do for that matter! It seems, however, that those in the public eye quickly fall prey to gross exaggerations. And 1 do mean gross! An excellent example of this can be seen in Goldman's extravagant analogies between the "kingship" of Elvis and various royalties of the past: "Around his throne flocked by all the familiar types found in every court; fawning lackeys, feeble-minded fools, fearless bodyguards, and even grieving mothers bringing their sick children to be healed by the kings of touch." Goldman is in serious need of the verv "laying on of hands" that he writes about! In terms of composition, ELVIS is quite a profound compilation of smut. Goldman offers the reader one nauseating tidbit right after another. A total of more than six-hundred interviews were said to be utilized in ELVIS, and I dare say that one of the people Goldman interviewed had to be the Tidy-Bowl man! Who else would know (or care to know) what toothpaste Elvis brushed with? Or what deodorant spray he used? lt should be clear by now that Goldman is not an Elvis fan in the least. Reason? It boils down to a soeio- cultural difference between artist and author. Goldman is nothing more than a high society. New York music- critic that gets his jollies poking fun at the stunts of a hillbilly yahorse. Albert Goldman, like myself, is a devout essayist of pop culture- particularly the music medium. Though all music critics have a favorite type of music, basically we demonstrate (at least superficially) an appreciation of all kinds of music Goldman seems to be quite comfortable wearing his music blinders. He admits that: "Rock was a snap to write about. The music is all symbol and archetype. Jazz is real music." 1 have nothing against jazz but right oft rock and roll readers are going to revolt! Earlier it vsas mentioned that IT VIS is a grand compendium of smut. I o qualify this statement 1 present a sordid sampling ol Goldman's work: "Elvis liked to see a girl dressed all in white. When she undressed, he was hoping to see that she wore white underpants. White panties were Elvis' erotic fetish." This excerpt is mild compared to the detailed accounts Goldman so vividly reports concerning Elvis' sexual relations and practices. Upon reading ELVIS there were parts where I didn't know whether to chuckle, weep, blush, or scream and briskly hurl the book out the nearest window! (At $14.95 a copy, 1 soon ruled out the latter.) ELVIS, brilliant as it may be, is rude, insolent, and seethingly obnoxious. What we have here is an expensive, expanded "National Inquisition" that is entirely devoted to the lambasting of Elvis Aaron Presley-The King of Rock & Roll. Ahh, to write Albert Goldman's biography and title it simply "Sweet Revenge." Yes!
