Every day this Trumper dude is becoming more and more like his soon-to-be convicted hero, right down to the blithering in ALL CAPS.

You really think he's gonna be convicted? How bout senile, Biden, and his Son Hunter ? And the Millions taken and shared amongst the family ? Democracy? Trying to eliminate the competition by dirty tactics isn't Democracy is it ?

I just fixed my computer keyboard in time to write a few words about your marvellous comment.You nailed it, although you forgot to mention that wishful thinking is the only defense of the uniformed. But when the uniformed is in addition an individual who has not contrinuted a single thing to society, ZERO, then it is up to others, the well informed, to single them out, not as being badly informed, but as having a huge inferiority complxx. And nothing makes the uninfoirmed even less informed than knowing that he or she suffers from that complex. So, again kudos for your comment

[Jaime1234]

The fact a poster seems proud not to know who Hidalgo is, tells other posters a lot about the blindness of the poster, as another poster wrote, here, who he was. LOL.

Writing about any subject without ever being a part of that subject is nothing to write home about There is a poster I know who finds Elvis Presley an innovator, a humanitarian, a person with an unrerring ear, and a photographic memory one who was amongst his country's highest personal tax payers, the most photographed and likeable person of the second half of the twentieth century and, thus far, I have said nothing about the fact he is also known as one of the greatesr singers and rockers in the history of that music idiom. So,the poster I know best is a member of this forum, not becausse Elvis is a rocker, but because Elvis is the brother he never had, and a person of tremendous spirit. That is why the poster is here.

[pmp]

Envy of Hidalgo, the co-creator of Pantheon. Posters in this forum can NOT envy other posters in the forum but only as long as they do NOT know who the other posters are. LOL.

But Hidalgo is a public figure so anyone on this forum who desmisses his work, or him, is because of envy..

Of course, i can boast of having 26 of my inmediate family members in the most important biographical index of individual leaders in charge of countries or group of countries who not just rule, or command but algo govern them. No rock and roll writers there, I have checked,.

In fact I may the be only member of this forum who can be referenced there. Me, personally, in addition to 25 of my family members. Lookus up in the index under the letters A, B, C, G, L, M, P, and S. This is better than Pantheon!!

What the bloody hell are you blabbering on about? Get this: no-one here cares about who your family are, who you have met, who your ancestors were, or Hidalgo...whoever he is.

NO-ONE.

And if you think rock n roll is something to be looked down upon, what in hell are you doing on this forum???

Your assertion that no-one cares is incorrect. I care.

Then start a private conversation with him, as his (apparent) connections have no relevance in AllElvis.

The inferioroty complex ridden poster amomgst us continues to confirm his stature as a writer who never did anything related to what he writes about.

[pmp]

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS,BUT I HAVENT FIXED A PROBLEM AND WANTED TO REPLY TO YOU ASAP.

We could have waited.

There is no inferiority complex - it just looks that way to someone with a superiority complex.

Ah, another non-US citizen chiming in on America's former and current leadership.

Indeed, you've cracked the case: President Biden is a criminal mastermind AND a senile, sleepy old man.

Such idiocy.

Also, you shouldn't be using the word "think" so casually.

Elvis Presley was an american, born on US soil.The members of this forum are here not because they are US nationals, but because we either love or hate Elvis.There are several amongst us who have undertaken studies in the US, and therefore we are quite capable of addressing any subject which has to do with politics,US and elsewhere,for that matter. I didnt get a 788 out of a ´perfect 800 in my AT in US and World History, at age 17, because I had the questions in advance. In fact, I was so knowledgeable of, say, the Watergate Affair that when they interviewed me,outside the halls of Georgetown, the ABC TV people deleted my interview because it made a mockery of one of its top correspondent who, incidentally,was unaware that my tutor was the top historian in the US capital.

So,let respect posters' posts for what they call as facts, not for what posters may feel about presidential candidates. Tonight, Tucker Carlson will cut in half Fox's viewership when he presents an interview with the former President, one which was already taped. If that happens, it will the first time a taped´program beats a live presidential debate in the ratings.

[Jaime1234]

The notion that people constantly endeavour to allay feelings of inferiority was good enough for Adler, but ONLY because the poor bastard didnt have a mother who taught him, from day one, that there was no one,in the world, who was his superior.

In fact,his theory of inferioroty and superiority complexes stems form his hate of his sister, who he thought was treated better than him. The exact opposite to what the poster I know best experienced, One sister,who was always the #1 in her class, the perfect child, perfect youngster,then perfect woman, mother and grandmother and one who, to this day,I absolutely adore.

So this poster I know best does not suffer from ANY complex,but others wpuld have to have had a mother like his, to avoid any one of those two complexes..

That seems like a reasonable suggestion. And just another thought about what was written, but are there any members on here who actually hate Elvis?

Returning to the legacy of Parkinson, here's something I wrote on Thursday night:

https://silentmovieblog.wordpress.com/2023/08/17/sir-michael-parkinson-1935-2023/

Thanks for this, Shane; a good read.

I have very fond memories of Parky in his pomp, especially his 1970s conversations with the last survivors of Hollywood's golden age.

Is there anyone on either side of the Atlantic still doing this type of thing with that sense of style and intelligence?

[Jaime1234]

For those who were born before December of 1964, when Parkinson was 29 years old, and had yet to work for the BBC, this one will blow the neverjaime1234's minds. The question is: what were the aforementioned members of this most distinguisherd of Elvis forums doing in December of 1964? Was it anything related to rock music or to Elvis in particuluar? Was Parkinson engaged,by then,in knowing, let alone introducing celebrities. When someone in the public asked the band to back the then 14 year old Jaime1234 up on an Elvis song, that same night, they immediately recruited him but since he wasnt living there then , being just on a Xmas vacation, he made him wait until 1967. And at least one of those in the photo made it to much greater heights than Mr,. Parkinson. LOL.

[emjel]

I know exactly what I was doing in December 1964 especially during the last week of the month and it was part related to Elvis and also rock music too, in particular the greatest pop group ever. As for Michael Parkinson, I have absolutely no idea what he was doing back then, and I have absolutely no idea why you made the post apart from you offering up a bit more of your self glorification. How are the carpenters doing by the way.

And how is this related to the topic? Oh, wait...it isn't. Again.

Perhaps you could go to the off topic section of the board and start a thread telling your life story. Then it would all be so handy in one place so that people could head there and read your memoirs...or avoid them like the plague.

I'm sure you have a really interesting life history, and I'm sure sitting around shooting the breeze you'd make really good company. But I must echo what some have said, this is an Elvis forum and when every topic gets moved onto your life story it gets tiresome and derails the thread. I know I find it difficult to then follow the conversation points. This is a good example... we're talking about YOUR life as an extention of talking about MICHAEL PARKINSON'S life on an ELVIS forum.

Perhaps open a thread in the off topic section to share your life experiences, then anyone wishing to converse can do so without cluttering other threads.

But there’s the problem because I doubt you’d be able to get any of your life story or experiences into the shooting the breeze kind of get together, so it would become a one way street.

And if the mods were paying attention, they’d see that so many of his posts have absolutely nothing to do with the actual threads and then move them.

[Jaime1234]

An educated poster admits it would be nice to shoot the breeze with another poster yet the former seems unaware that the majority of the posts offered to this forum by the latter poster are about the life and legacy of Elvis Presley. Then another póster, comes out of Mars to suggest there would be no point is shooting the breeze with the poster in question as it would turn out to be a one way type of interaction, a notion that could only be conceived, or imagined, by someone who has ALREADY been the subject of such a pitiful state of being.

Anyone who can not interact, interject, then take his or her own ideas and compete face to face,with those of a conversationalist, can not be expected to be given the benefit of any doubt. So, I can only conclude that the poster who says it will not be worth to have a great time with the other poster is speaking for himself, or herself. There isnt a single person, amongst the classmates of a poster I know best, some 780 in grammar, middle and high schools alone, who has, to this day, ever complained that the poster did not listen to their stories and learned from them. .Not a single one. But that is because in person, it is a different matter...

[Thats_all_right]

A poster admiits it would be nice to shoot the breeze with another poster yet the former is unaware that the majority of the posts offered to this forum by the latter are about the life and legacy of Elvis Presley.

Why not mention the poster's name? This again makes everything incredibly difficult to follow and TOTALLY alienates many other 'posters'. Plus, since this was clearly a reply to what I wrote, I never said you didn't post on topic, just that there always seems to be the next chapter of your life at really random places within the thread. I feel my comment was civil.

[Jaime1234]

And that is is why i said an educated poster. The educated poster knows who he or she is. The poster from
Mars may be educated as well, but it looks like he or she has suffered from not being able to match a conversationaist, in person.

I hate to bring a member of my immediate family into our current discussion, but I have to. In 1949, the top politician in South America took refugee in the Colombian Embassy. My dad was a simple protocol officer and was convinced by a friend to visit the politician There was some 150 people seating, and he, the politician, was in the middle, answering every question, mostly abuut his taking the matter to the International Court of Justice in the Hague, so my dad, who could match anyone as a conversationalist, kept quiet given the fact the person who was supposed to speak, for hours on end, was the politician.

But then, the politician retorted to something the person seating next to my dad,,my dad's friend, had said, and then he asked him to back it up. The guy couldnt, and there was a hush from the 150 there congregated you could hear a mile away. My dad felt pity for his friend and decided to speak on his behalf,.The politician and those present were in awe of my dad's manners,the way he would sprinkle minds to think, think, even when the person who he was talking to was the head of a party, whose electoral victory may have just been quashed by the 1948 coup d'etat.,

So I learned from my dad that the only way to get away from speaking out of turn,is when someone ELSE leads you to it,then allows you to speak. My dad spoke for three hours that afternoon and the politician was the first to applaud. Here is the man I was talking about, the greatest pubic speaker in the history of Peru., Victor Raul Haya de la Torre.

Is this meant to make sense? You are really making this forum unpleasant right now - taking over every damn thread with your life story, and taking every thread you contribute to off topic.
