My Boy Elvis: The Colonel Tom Parker Story

Rating:
Summary: Nothing an Elvis Fan Hasn't Already Heard
Review: This book is a poorly edited, mediocre attempt at describing the Colonel and his relationship to Elvis. While the book presents many interesting facts about the Colonel, it fails to put any perspective on the relationship between the most infamous manager and an American icon. Somewhere there is an interesting book to be written about the pull mediocre management has on great artists (ask the Beatles, Willie Nelson, and Billy Joel, among others). This ain't it.
