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. |

Comments on Elvis expert needed
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...
I'm an Elvis Historian. I guest speak on local and nationally syndicated radio programs. I consult on Elvis projects and I have written for Essential Elvis Magazine. Also, I have a wealth of friends and contacts in the Elvis World, including Members of the "Memphis Mafia" the group of friends and employees that surrounded and protected Elvis.
Sincerely,
Cory Cooper
