Another find in my cuttings folder - this time from a 1995 Sunday Times feature on Elvis curating the Meltdown Festival -

Photo - Andy Lane

The point being made? Haven't a clue!

Wasn't this photo taken around the time he tried out as the construction guy in The Village People?

Surely this is a much earlier photo of Spike, the Beloved Entertainer.....

He's only updating the old song "If I Had A Hammer".

Didn't you hear that in the mid-nineties Elvis was asked to write a score for a Czech ballet based on Driller Killer, but the project fell through?

He's the only person who could manage to look refined and slightly fey wielding such a tool. ("Heh-heh. She said 'tool'. Heh heh heh.")

This alternately terrifies me and makes me excited. What's up with that?

The thought of EC with power tools is quite scary actually.....doesn't strike me as the type. Hell, I almost jumped over a hedge when I saw him driving in America....after recently reading a recounting of his Other Side of Summer driving experiences.
