Elvis expert neededPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, July 11, 2007 1:39 PM
An experienced Chinese journalist doing a story marking the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley — August 16 — is looking for Elvis experts. Ideally the expert should either be Elvis himself, or have met Elvis, but mere mortals with knowledge about the man the Chinese call Cat King (猫王) are encouraged to get in touch: elvis@danwei.org. |

The King Cat Lives! I'm all shook up at opportunity to spread the Elvis mantra (TCB) in China. Jeremy, I emailed this guy, please vouch for my basic goodness.
Thank you, thankyouverymuch,
Elvis (but not his spirit) has left the building...
