Our friend and contributing editor Gary James receives some interesting comments on his interviews. Here are a few samples. To have your say, Contact Gary James |

The Elvis impersonator is trying way too hard to sound like him, he over-stuttering. Please do not insult the true fans. This is really insulting, it is a scam! I don't remember the year now, but around 1999 or 2000 Fox Network did a special on Elvis in the fall of the year. The special interviewed Jeannie C. Riley who claimed Elvis was alive and would go public for religious reasons around Christmas of that year. Another blonde lady was interviewed as well ( I cannot recall her name), claiming she was the contact for Elvis and the outside world and said the same thing as Ms. Riley. Obviously, the above did not occur. I have on more than one occasion tried to email Fox Network regarding the broadcast. I also emailed the local Fox affiliate asking about the program. No answer from either. I was listening to the radio interview that you shared when supposably Elvis was answering a ladies questions. Do you still communicate with Elvis? Is so, could you ask him if he received the poems I wrote and left for him at Graceland and/or mailed to Graceland? I do believe Elvis is still alive and the only reason I do is because I have a picture I took while at Graceland on 6/1/2007. It was during our walk over to Meditation Garden between 7:30-8:30. No tours were going on at that time. He was peering out of the window over the pool and watching people go to his grave. He was directly at the window but standing a little ways back from it. He appeared to be well. Do you know if he is. It's ironic the same day we took that picture, Dr. Nick, his son and another gentlemen were on tour. I believe Elvis is alive and i want to see him so bad. I believe he knows who I am and that i perform for him. i believe he has seen me perform and every time i go to tupelo to the little house or to memphis i look for him everywhere. Every time i perform i look for him. I just know he knows who i am. i want to read the rest of the interview about the book orion and the woman who wrote it. i believe her. Gary, do you really believe Elvis is alive after all these years? He may have not died when they said he did, but by now he would be up in years. And if he did fake his death why? And why has he not come out about it years ago? And do you believe the interview with the Major was real and that was Elvis? Are they any proof that he didn't die when they said he did? Do you think Lisa Marie and Cilla known about it? So,many questions I know,but I hope you can answer some for me. I listened to your interview and it really sounds like Elvis voice. But, dont you think after 30 years if Elvis was alive wouldn't he finally come out of hiding. Believe me or not I would be the first to want to see him alive. I wish if he was alive today that he would come out of hiding and announce it to the world. He is not getting any younger hey he is 72 now. Also, his ex Linda Thompson her mother at the wake said that Elvis did not look himself and that the body in the coffin could be a wax person. The house tour they show all the rooms except for the kitchen and the up stairs very interesting maybe he is still alive and the up stair of his home is off limits cause maybe he is up there sometimes when he is in Memphis The only way to know the truth is to exhume the body and do a DNA test and that would answer all the questions. But, no one will do it sooooo maybe he is alive. What if Elvis were REALLY alive...and What if...he were involved with someone who knew and could prove it? Can you imagine...and no dear..its not me..ha. I wish. I have heard rumor of a lady not far from Memphis.....who is rumored to be involved....and enough so is the is rumor more than that.....her mail is being monitored...as she and mystery man....exchange gifts...quite often. Just thinking outloud. Tell me...do you think...Elvis is still out there? That is something...I really want to know......then...we will go from there...and by the way...you cant read this story...it is not in print, and I imagine...never will be. Regarding Buddy Holly: you are the best person in the world Peter (Coen)'s description of how my brother (Harry Chapin) died in the car accident that claimed his life is inaccurate. Since his sole connection to Harry's story died with Harry there is no way he could be expected to know the accurate details. What I don't understand is why this ghoulish description is relevant to a piece of this kind. Maybe Peter still feels he owns Harry's story but if so he might try to get the endpiece right. He could ask some of us who know the facts instead of his somewhat colorful guess. As for there being "no closer look at Harry" than Peter's book, that remains to be seen. A lot of us were there besides Peter Coen and he does not own Harry's story by any means. Overall though I was grateful to read the piece and Harry would have been pleased to be so remembered. I just got done reading the interview you conducted with Larry Buchanan and as a professionial investigator and retired law enforcement officer, I can tell you that this guy is "full of shit!" Not only does his premise suck, the facts don't even hint at these events occurring like he suggested. He's a fraud pure & simple, long & short, black & white "Flash Jordan" a songwriter and local music personality whose fans include Sarah Ferguson (yes, the former 'Duchess of York') and members of the Bush family (as in President Bush), claims that Elvis Presley did fake his death and now lives in *****. hint: the location is in Europe. Shortly before Flash Jordan's brother died (in 2003), he taped some new music with Elvis and a son named Roy, which she claims will be released at some date following Elvis Presley's death. I can not verify, nor vouch for, the authenticity of any claims and assertions made concerning Elvis Presley by "Flash Jordan". But to date, her other claims and assertions have checked out as factual and correct, upon investigation. I am still an avid Dave Clark 5 fanatic! I was messing around the internet yesterday evening and found your interview with Mr. Clark under "Dave Clark Productions". There are quite a few people like myself who are having some difficulties understanding Mr. Clark's views regarding releasing more of his musical catalogue. I had a great high school band director (1965-69) that taught me how to take care of my vinyl. Several years ago I bought a Philips CD recorder that plugs into the back of my receiver. I recorded about 7 DC5 CDs(naturally, for my own personal use). I did buy the "History" 2CD set, but was very disappointed that out of 50 cuts only 3 were in stereo. It's heartwarming to read that Mr. Clark does not live in the past. There are quite a few of us who ar not happy with the music we sometimes have to listen, but I suppose that is our problem. Still, I enjoyed your interview and got another perspective from Mr. Clark that I did not know. You did a great job! I just bumped into your site looking for stuff on Johnny Thunder. I've been on the site for over an hour now. Thanks for taking the music and the people seriously. this guy Major Bill Smith is a total phoney and a fraud! That is not Elvis Presley speaking. The King is dead. I'd like to believe that Elvis is still alive, but I really don't think he is. Why can't people just leave Elvis alone? The man is dead. Accept it. I just want to tell you that I have read a lot of your interviews about elvis over and over because I like a lot of them however I can't help but notice that when you ask people questions they dance around your questions they really don't answear you. Such as most don't give you dates. One person has said the same thing over and over and when this spoke to the BBC news this person said elvis was a big jerk. Any way I'm tell you all of this because you said that you have been trying to find the truth for some time. Any way I can tell you elvis did fake his death. Before I go on I just want to say I'm not crazy and I'm not telling you this because I want to be in the eyes of the public nor I'm am saying any of this for money or any other reason other then I feel people have been mislead and I think it is wrong. I want to let you know that I have work in the med field for some time. And I have to tell you the guys that hung out with elvis just don't make sence. And that what has made me really want to look in to this. 1. one of the men said he found elvis with rigor mortis well you can not turn over a rigor mortis and do any thing with it because it takes about 72hr for rigor mortis to break. 2. No EMT is going to work on a rigor mortis body not even a doctor. 3. I have been surffing the net for some monthes just to see what I could find any way I found these int and I kept typing in names well this name came up but still not sure of the name I left it a lone for a while then I took a trip to mississippi and I met this man that had a lot of videos about elvis and one of the videos this person was giving an interview and it was the person that I foud by intl on the net. 4. This person that I'm telling you about lives in back of graceland not on graceland grounds. Any way this person that I'm telling you about got in to all kinds of trouble with EPE. Because of what this person did and saw. This person has a video. 5. I know it sound very odd because I keep using the word person. Honstely I use person because of how I found this out. I really have the name of the person. I'm sure you are having a good laugh but every thing I told you is the truth. I really only got in to this because I heard priscilla tell a few lies out of her own mouth. And the other reason I got in to it because the med part of how every thing happend is not possable. If it came down to it I could prove what I'm telling you. I could really tell you how I did all of this but I would really have to that I could trust that you would not give me away. And I also know that this person would talk with you because this person loves to talk and this person really has a viseo and this person really got it to it with EPE for what she saw. But I also have to tell you that it may take a little to get to talk to this person because of EPE and no this person has nothing to do with EPE. The problem is Gary. All you nay sayers want to believe Elvis was just some hill billiy,- not so. What you need to do is request info under the Freedom of Information Act? ive been seeing things for years online that elvis may still be alive do you think that is possible I thought you knowed Elvis and if he was alive wasnt that you I herad on the radio, and Elvis. I can solve this case but you need to give me something to work with. Or was it your voice pretending to be Elvis. I bet anything that the mans alive. Theres a movie coming out about the truth of his death. Like I said its like a puzzle and I belived I pretty much got it solved...mission accomplished |
