The Life and Death of American Superstar Elvis Presley

On August 16‚ 1977‚ and the days and weeks that followed‚ the whole world mourned the death of Elvis Presley‚ the King of Rock and Roll.  He had such an impact on the music world. When people hear the name Elvis‚ they don’t need a last name for recognition. Even his clothing and hair were iconic. More importantly‚ a single note from Elvis’s mouth is easy to identify.  Elvis was a legend when he was alive and remained as such long after his death. How did he die? Let’s talk about the end of the Elvis era.  Portrait of Elvis Presley around the time he was leaving to join the army. 1958 A Glimpse Into the Making of a Legend Elvis was born to Gladys and Vernon Presley on January 8‚ 1935‚ in East Tupelo‚ Mississippi‚ in what is known as a shotgun house. They were very poor: a shotgun house is a small property only 12 feet wide. Moreover‚ East Tupelo was referred to as the “roughest town in north Mississippi.”  The Presleys went to the Assembly of God Church‚ where the music deeply resonated with young Elvis. At ten years old‚ he joined a singing contest and began playing guitar on his 11th birthday.  Discovery There were disputes in the discovery of Elvis—many music bigwigs wanted to take credit for it.  The truth is that Elvis had the biggest hand in his initial success. At 18 years old‚ fresh out of high school‚ Elvis recorded two songs at the Memphis Recording Service. It was owned by Sam Phillips‚ who brought Johnny Cash and B.B. King to the world. He took credit for Elvis’ stardom.  In 1954‚ Phillips grouped Elvis with guitarist Winfield “Scotty” Moore and bass player Bill Black to form a trio. Elvis’ name slowly became more known in Memphis.  Popularity By 1956‚ Elvis had a full band and backup singers. He was being invited to play on TV programs. In March‚ he released his self-titled album.  Elvis’ true star power became evident when he appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show on September 9‚ 1956. A record-breaking $50‚000 contract was signed for Elvis’ three consecutive appearances on the show. It was well worth the money‚ as his appearances were the most-watched broadcast in the 1950s.  Elvis’ scandals only further boosted his popularity. Every time Elvis performed live‚ audiences went wild‚ especially the women. They would dance and scream to the music and cry for Elvis. Some fainted from hysteria.  Elvis being given a guitar-shaped key to the city by Mayor James L. Ballard when he returned to Tupelo‚ Mississippi. Draft Elvis was drafted into the army in 1957 and began training in 1958. He was stationed in Germany shortly after his mother died in 1958. He served for two years before he was honorably discharged.  The famous singer could have avoided service‚ but Colonel Tom Parker‚ his manager‚ thought it was the perfect way to manage Elvis’ divisive reputation. He was able to record a few songs in between training.  Love When Elvis was posted in Germany‚ he met Priscilla Beaulieu. Her stepfather was in the United States Air Force stationed in the area. She was only 14 years old.  They got married in 1967‚ when Priscilla was 22‚ and had a daughter‚ Lisa Marie.  Elvis and Priscilla were only married for five years‚ but they remained cordial. Elvis’ health started failing just as their marriage was on the rocks.  Elvis Presley at 35‚ 1970 Health Issues By 1973‚ Elvis had overdosed on barbiturates twice. In one incident‚ he was comatose for three days.  Elvis took various prescription drugs. But he did not think he was a junkie because he was getting his narcotics fix from doctors. He was being treated for several chronic conditions‚ including hypertension‚ coronary artery heart disease‚ mild diabetes‚ enlarged colon‚ glaucoma‚ and constipation‚ among others. His own physician said that Elvis only accidentally abused drugs. Despite his serious drug and related health issues‚ Elvis embarked on busy tours that saw him on hundreds of stages over the years.  Photograph of President Nixon and Elvis Presley‚ 12/21/1970‚ shot by Nixon’s chief photographer‚ Ollie Atkins. Courtesy National Archives. The Death of a Rock ‘n Roll Legend On the afternoon of August 16‚ 1977‚ paramedics were called to his $1 million mansion‚ Graceland‚ after Elvis reportedly had difficulty breathing. When the emergency team arrived‚ they found a group of people huddled over a man wearing mismatched pajamas: a yellow top and blue bottoms. He was already cold when paramedics loaded all of his 250 pounds on the ambulance. Medical personnel still tried to revive him when he arrived at the hospital and pronounced him dead at 3:30 pm.  He was only 42 years old.  Official police records noted that Elvis was on the toilet reading when he suddenly had what seemed like a cardiac episode and lunged forward.  Controversy Elvis’ physician‚ Dr. George Nichopoulos‚ did not report a cause of death. Years later‚ it was found that Dr. Nick‚ as most patients called him‚ was responsible for prescribing Elvis more than 19‚000 pills‚ tablets‚ and injectables from January 1975 to August 1977. Nichopoulos reasoned that any other doctor would prescribe Elvis the same because of his many health conditions.  After a two-hour autopsy‚ Dr. Jerry Francisco‚ the medical examiner for the county‚ reported to the press that preliminary findings indicated the cause of death was cardiac arrhythmia‚ with no involvement of drugs. He went so far as to say that Elvis would have passed away even without the cocktail of drugs found in his system. This included high doses of opiates and codeine‚ among others. However‚ it was later revealed that Dr. Francisco made this public statement without the consent of two other pathologists who actually performed the post-mortem examination. He did so at the request of Elvis’s family members‚ who did not want the extent of the legend’s drug addiction to become public. The autopsy reports have been reopened and reexamined several times since‚ and the cause of the cardiac arrhythmia that led to his death remains disputed.  Gone But Never Forgotten The legend’s death didn’t muddle his celebrity status. He died with over 100 hits that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold over 500 million records worldwide. Some of his enduring songs include Can’t Help Falling in Love‚ Jailhouse Rock‚ Burning Love‚ and many more.  Music enthusiasts across all ages and generations have loved his songs. His spirit has been kept alive for decades through his impersonators‚ who are mainstays in Las Vegas. Many movies have also depicted Elvis’ life and career.  It’s been 46 years since Elvis passed‚ but people continue to talk about his legacy. He is undoubtedly a cultural force of the 20th century that changed the face of pop culture and will never be forgotten. The post The Life and Death of American Superstar Elvis Presley first appeared on History Defined.

Watch: Daily Wire Host Claims that Saying 'Christ Is King' is Anti-Semitic‚ Gets Hit with Major Backlash

Christ is King. The statement is very simple. For Christians‚ it is an expression of reverence for Jesus Christ as the King of Kings‚ as stated in verses such as Matthew 21:5 or Revelation 17:14. "They will wage war against the Lamb‚ but the Lamb will triumph over them because...

Donald Trump Jr. Drops Three Names He Would Consider For Trump’s Running Mate‚ Report Says

Donald Trump Jr. said he wants a fighter to run alongside President Trump in the 2024 presidential election. “What I want in that role is I want a fighter‚” Donald Trump Jr. told the New York Post. “I understand what they are going to throw at us‚” he continued. “In 2016 you needed someone to balance out [the ticket] — that’s where Mike Pence made sense‚ sort of the yin and yang‚ but [given] the vicious nature of the swamp and the insanity we see on a daily basis‚ you need someone who can take those hits‚” he added‚ according to the outlet. Trump Jr. dropped three names he would consider for his father’s running mate: Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) Former GOP presidential candidate and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson BREAKING NEWS: Trump hints at Vice President possibilities — Tucker Carlson in the mix confirmed now. https://t.co/jmB2nh3pXt — Anacott Steel (@BPGAG) March 23‚ 2024 The New York Post reports: Trump daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner both served in senior White House roles during his last term‚ but Trump Jr. said he and fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle‚ who also remains close to the campaign‚ had no plans on becoming a second “Javanka” in the West Wing — but that he’d “never rule anything out.” Should his father retake the Oval Office‚ Trump Jr. said he plans to take a “very active” role in the the 2024 presidential transition team‚ while Guilfoyle would remain focused on fundraising. “Mostly just to make sure we stop some of the D.C. swamp rats and the swamp creatures from getting in there and doing their thing‚” he said. Trump Jr. was coy about who else he wanted around him during the transition but after some prodding‚ mentioned John Ratcliffe‚ a former director of national intelligence; and Cliff Sims‚ a former special assistant to President Trump‚ who also wrote a bestselling memoir of his White House years in 2019. “Team of Vipers.” Both men were veterans of Trump Sr.’s first term — something Trump Jr. appeared to prioritize. Donald Trump Jr. urging father to pick JD Vance‚ Vivek Ramaswamy‚ or Tucker Carlson for VP. Follow: @AFpost pic.twitter.com/dTQKPCa92R — AF Post (@AFpost) March 23‚ 2024 ‘I want a fighter’: Donald Trump Jr. lobbying dad to pick one of these possible running mates https://t.co/02t0P7pyMR pic.twitter.com/NJ8rxTgORC — New York Post (@nypost) March 23‚ 2024 According to prior reports‚ Donald Trump already dismissed Ramaswamy as a vice presidential candidate. Vivek Ramaswamy Reportedly Out Of Vice President Consideration‚ Potentially A Different Role In Trump Administration Perhaps he's not totally out of the running? From Fox News: As for other individuals he would like to see run alongside his father‚ Trump Jr. mentioned John Ratcliffe‚ who previously served as the director of national intelligence‚ and Cliff Sims‚ a former special assistant to Trump who made a variety of claims in a 2019 tell-all memoir detailing his brief stint at the White House. Trump Jr. is mostly searching for someone who will be "loyal" and put forth the "America First" agenda that his father has preached for the last decade. "There are so many great people to choose from now with the first four years of the administration‚ you have a good understanding of who would be great and loyal and implement the America First policies‚" he said. Despite past remarks that his father has made with regard to political retribution‚ Trump Jr. told the outlet that his father is "going to lead the country the way it’s supposed to be led" and insisted that his sole "retribution will be success for our country." Earlier this year‚ Trump said he already knew whom he was going to select to serve as his running mate‚ but wouldn't announce their name yet. "I know who it's going to be‚" Trump said during a Fox News Town Hall event in January in Iowa.

General Mills Cereal Brand ‘Loaded’ With Toxins‚ Report Says

A new report claims the General Mills’ cereal brand called ‘Trix LOADED’ tested for high levels of heavy metals and agrochemicals. “General Mills‚ Inc. on Feb. 1 launched ‘LOADED‚’ a new cereal line with ‘puffed-up larger-than-life squares’ of General Mills’ Cinnamon Toast Crunch‚ Trix‚ and Cocoa Puffs cereals filled with artificially flavored vanilla creme‚” The Epoch Times reports. Trix LOADED cereal is certainly loaded! I hope this article will shame General Motors into doing something to improve the quality of their cereals.https://t.co/tSuuz48bX9 — Stephanie Seneff (@stephanieseneff) March 23‚ 2024 Moms Across America (MAA)‚ an organization that strives to educate and empower mothers and others with actions and solutions to create healthy communities‚ reported the testing results. “Please tell your elected official that we have a physical and mental health crisis in America‚” Moms Across America said. BREAKING: General Mills "Loaded” Cereal is Loaded with Dangerous Levels of Toxins. STORY: https://t.co/xW3lp1ixhM Please tell your elected official that we have a physical and mental health crisis in America. #generalmills #cereal #breakfast pic.twitter.com/MkHcEx2Yqz — Moms Across America (@yesmaam74) March 24‚ 2024 Moms Across America wrote: Levels of toxic heavy metals arsenic and cadmium present in two samples of Loaded Trix flavor were 200-400% higher than EPA allowable levels in drinking water. Aluminum levels were as high as 3500 ppb‚ making Trix Loaded cereal a toxic way to start the day according to EU standards‚ if eaten daily. Aluminum levels were 1‚365% and 1‚650% higher than the EPA maximum allowable level in drinking water Glyphosate levels were 15.83 and 17.47 ppb‚ 158-174X times higher than has been shown to cause sex hormone changes and organ damage in animal studies when they consumed .1 ppb of glyphosate herbicide. Trace levels or higher of 8 pesticides were detected‚ including Fluopyram-1 a fungicide that has been shown to cause endocrine disruption in humans and wildlife at low levels. Piperonyl butoxide – an ingredient used in shampoo to facilitate the killing of lice was detected in Loaded cereal. “In a statement to The Epoch Times‚ MAA director Zen Honeycutt said her organization tested two samples of General Mills’ Trix LOADED cereal because they were alarmed that the company‚ which had previously seemed very committed to supporting regenerative organic agriculture‚ launched a cereal ‘loaded with creme‚ food dyes‚ and highly-processed foods‚'” The Epoch Times wrote. Trix Loaded is certainly loaded all right … Loaded with heavy metals‚ toxins and insecticides! Don't feel you kids that literal garbage.https://t.co/OpO3diwb3i — PoliTech (@Politechblog) March 24‚ 2024 From The Epoch Times: In test results obtained by MAA‚ scientists found residues from eight different pesticides in both samples of Trix LOADED cereal. The following six pesticide residues were found in trace amounts: Imazalil-1 Metconazole-1 Pyraclostrobin-1 Pyrimethanil-1 Pyriproxyfen-1 Tebuconazole-1 Two pesticides‚ piperonyl butoxide-1 (PBO) and fluopyram-1‚ were detected in higher amounts. Fluopyram-1 is a broad-spectrum fungicide that can cause liver problems‚ endocrine disruption‚ and thyroid cancer. Piperonyl butoxide (PBO) is a man-made pesticide synergist that enhances the potency of certain pesticides designed to kill insects. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies PBO as a “possible human carcinogen” as studies in rats show PBO can induce thyroid and liver cancers‚ as well as noncancerous tumors. More recent animal model studies suggest PBO exposure can cause neurodevelopmental abnormalities in utero and liver cancer. A 2021 study published in Reproductive Toxicology found PBO may cause male infertility and reproductive toxicity. According to the National Pesticide Information Center‚ PBO is found in over 2‚500 pesticide products‚ including foggers and mosquito control programs. Yet PBO is exempt from the EPA’s maximum residue limits‚ which determine the amount of pesticides allowed to remain in food. This means PBO pesticide residue is freely permitted in cereals consumed daily by children and adolescents across the United States.
