According to a pop culture expert, the best thing ever to happen to Elvis Presley, in crass terms of fame and notoriety, was his death. Greil Marcus charts how America’s obsession with the King seeps deeper and deeper into the country’s consciousness with each anniversary of Elvis’s death. Dead Elvis collects all the jokes, sightings, television programs, cartoons, newspaper coverage, movies, music and more. It’s a collage about more than a single artist; it’s a collage about America itself. | Dead Elvis by Greil Marcus, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
