IMAGINE MY SURPRISE WHEN I SAW AN ADVERT FOR ELVIS PRESLEY LIVE IN CONCERT IN GLASGOW.
I had to stop dead in my tracks to check the date first of all. Yes, it was dated for the 11th of March 2012!
The poster reads:
LAST UK TOUR OF
ELVIS
PRESLEY
IN CONCERT
“A concert you just
cannot afford to miss”
and goes on….
“ELVIS – the best concert I have ever
been to – The King is still alive”
Now, as far as I am aware, Elvis A Presley lived from 8 January 1935 to 16 August 1977. And he never played the UK. It doesn’t say this concert involves a tribute act, or a lookalike. It seems that it is the real Elvis!
Things are getting worse when long dead pop singers can fill a 12,500 auditorium, or when some form of conspiracy, sleight of hand, impersonation, trickery, zombie magic or con-artistry can attempt to pass off their act as that of someone else. Who exactly gets all the dosh this concert generates? Frankly I am too bewildered by this for words!
