He’s alive! The King is Alive!


Well, hey there! A treat to see you today! What’cha’ll up to, huh? Fill your mug to the brim and corner one of those round delicious-looking doughnuts on the top shelf while I bring you the good news that “The King is alive…or at least so claims board-certified Kansas City, Mo., psychiatrist (and University of Kansas School of Medicine graduate) Dr. Donald Hinton. He told reporters in February (2002) that "Elvis Aron Presley, the entertainer (whom) everybody believes died in 1977," is alive and that Hinton has been treating him for migraine headaches, among other things, for five years.

Hinton, 35, said he has several items from Presley containing his DNA and has continually denied that he's running a scam. An Elvis Presley Enterprises official was unfazed, insisting that Elvis is still "in the garden (at Graceland)."

(Update: Dr. Hinton subsequently self-published a book, co-authored with Elvis, explaining their relationship, and was subsequently investigated by the Missouri Healing Arts Board, which ultimately closed the investigation without charges.)

I’ve actually been to Kansas City. That of course is the KC that’s in Missouri. There is another one across the river, Kansas City, Kansas. I remember talking with someone in a dispensary of liquid libations called Hoolihan’s while I was in KC and asking about the other KC. I was told it wasn’t such a great place. Part of the actual quote was, “Hell, I wouldn’t even send my mail through there!”

I thought KC, Mo was quite a decent place though prone to tornadoes and there was a tornado warning while I was there. Didn’t see anyone wearing blue suede shoes or gyrating as though his hemmorhoids were bothering him.
Didn’t see Dorothy or Toto, either come to think of it.

See ya!
