I wasn't planning on seeing the movie but I'm curious if they went into any detail of Col Parker before Elvis. His alleged scams while running the Tampa Humane Society are interesting.

Very interesting, that question. Baz Luhrman uses Elvis's appearance on the Allen show as a pivot point in his biopic. Allen, my opinion, was always very dismissive and derisive of rock & roll. That appearance came up last night, after I had the pleasure of attending the movie with one of the world's foremost Elvis authorities, and Col Parker's biographer, Alanna Nash, a long time friend here in Louisville. We talked about the scene in the movie...

I do recall watching Allen when he and somebody else read the lyrics to "Be Bop A Lula" while making fun of what they considered the stupidity in their minds.

Yep. When I could. My parents didn't like me staying up late. I think he had a prime time thing on once that included Don Knotts ("Are you nervous?" "NOPE") and Tom Position as a guy who couldn't remember his name. He had Elvis, Jerry Lee, jazz artists and Kerouac on his shows and played with the medium the way his colleague Ernie Kovacs did and Letterman did later. Much more innovative than Carson or Parr.

So let me address a couple of comments above. There were two shows over two nights. My wife Michelle went to school at Santa Monica High School across the street from the Civic Center. The school had a open campus so she and her friend went across the street to check out what was going on. She met Moulty the drummer of the Barbarians and he gave her the lowdown on the show and gave her tickets. She was at the first show. She couldn’t go to night two because she got grounded. I can assure you The Godfather and The Stones played on the same night. Michelle hated James Brown’s performance mainly because she wanted to see The Stones and it was getting later and later. You can imagine what she thought of his cape routine. Me telling her that might be the most iconic JB performance ever didn’t change her reaction to it.

I have or had the VHS. Someone can explain that to the youngsters. I saw it in the theaters as a kid. I liked the Stones but James stole the show with his cape and inability to leave the stage routine. Lesley is sweet, but The Ronnettes with their high hair and sexy little bye bye wave sent my early adolescent imagination into overdrive. They sounded great, too.
