Marty Lacker
KingCreole
I am new to the internet, but my friend told me that Marty Lacker was a
regular
on the internet Elvis newsgroup. Where is he, and why is he gone. Is he
considered an ally by Elvis friends or is he considered the enemy???
And why if enemy is he one???
Steve.......TCB!

Marty (Moon) tried to use this discussion group for commercial
advertising a while back. I wouldn't call him a regular, but he was
here for a short time in various incarnations. For the most part, his
advertising methods consisted of pretending to be someone else,
praising the three guys who now own the Memphis Mafia(tm) name, and
bashing others who knew Elvis.
>Where is he, and why is he gone.
Oh, he's not gone. He just deleted his known AOL screen names and is
using another service for advertising and posting. Why isn't he
posting here as Moon? See above.
>Is he considered an ally by Elvis friends or is he considered
>the enemy??? And why if enemy is he one???
I'm not aware of anyone who considers him an ally. If he has to be
considered at all, I guess enemy is as good a term as any for someone
who betrays a friendship.
Why? I'm sure you know about the book Marty and a couple other guys
wrote -- yet another tell-all book about Elvis. You know, "this time
it's the *real* story," and all that. Well, scandalous versions of
"the truth" sell best I guess, because they deliberately emphasized
things that the general public would consider bizarre in a Dateline
NBC interview and in Country Weekly magazine's birthday "tribute"
article, whose target audiences are not generally Elvis fans. The
reaction among fans was unanimous: that is not something you do to
someone you love. If you love someone, you DO NOT constantly harp on
his weaknesses and you DO NOT go on a national prime-time television
show and sit there laughing about his personal problems. Period.
As a result, years after he was betrayed by his bodyguards immediately
prior to his death, Elvis is still the victim of resentful former
employees. And fans are pretty upset about it.

I have to agree with TCBTerri on her answer to this - and I'd also like to
add that the reaction fans have had to the book are not without good
cause. There were incidents they (Marty etc.) wrote about in their book
that apparently were stories "handed down" to them since Marty and the
others were not even present during some of events they wrote about.
Unfortunately, in putting the information together for their book (from
what source I do not know) the stories barely resemble what actually
happened. This makes me wonder just how accurate the rest of the book is.
As for whether he's considered an ally or enemy - you may want to talk to
your friend about the activity when Marty was present, and then decide for
yourself.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you give us an example of
something that you know firsthand that is not correct?

oops...I've been out of touch a little recently (it's been said before),
but do you know if this Steve is a real person?...
I guess the signs that worry me are that he seems to have a Mafia
fixation, claims to be new to the Internet, and now asks about Marty
Lacker...
If I really cared much about Lacker's movements, you could call me
paranoid... :-) ...just wondering, though....

He's gone because this here town weren't big enough for the both of us...
Well, okay...he's gone because he got tired of people always attacking
him...only the truth was that HE was typically the initiator of conflict,
and refused to entertain any perspective otehr than his own, even when it
came from other who knew Elvis on a personal level
He came here "in disguise", and conducted himself deviously (as opposed
to deviantly, about which I'd rather not speculate), and since he has
"gone" he's resurrected himself here under aliases.
That's why my query as to your reality - interest in the Mafia and him in
particular is one of the hallmarks of his various personalities
(actually, I shouldn't say "personality" when referrign to Mr Lacker,
since it's something of an oxymoron), so your queries tickle the
curiosity of people like me who've seen his M.O. before. No offense
intended if you aren't him, every offense intended if you are.
If he's been around recently, though, he's been pretty quiet, or
restrained (no double-entendre intended, of course).
> Is he
> considered an ally by Elvis friends or is he considered the enemy???
Probably depends who you are. "Enemy" is a bit strong a term,
though..."bozo" is more apt
> And why if enemy is he one???
Because he's one of the prime offenders among the parasites who sucked
Elvis dry while he was alive and, even more mercilessly, after his
death. He's a rude, crude, offensive little man, who fails to see his
own insignificance and compensates for it by throwing his weight around
in this forum. Like I said, though, he's not worthy of the title "enemy"...
oh, yeah, I'm sure Elvis would just LOVE the way Marty Lacker treats his
fans (not to mention Elvis' own memory and character)

No, I am not a real person...I am an artificial lifeform sent here to
impregnate the female species with Elvis clones... Any other intelligent
questions you have, feel free not to ask...

Shane-
I am not Marty Lacker if that is what you are implying. You seem to
play quite the skeptic. I do not plan to interfere with your
postings...so give me a break & leave mine alone unless you have a
worth-while contribution to make. Thanks and hope we never meet.

One example from the Revelations of the Memphis Mafia book that comes to
mind, is the story about a girl who overdosed in Palm Springs. I'll try
to keep it brief:
In their book Marty states:
>...they went to Palm Springs. Elvis was taking Hycodan, which is a
>narcotic. Elvis and the girl were drinking it out of champagne glasses
(and to make a long story short)
>the girl almost died because Elvis and her were drinking these Hycodan
>cocktails all night long.
(according to the book Elvis was knocked out also)
Well, Elvis MAY have had Hycodan at the house somewhere but he was not
taking any that evening. The girl however, (who was nursing a bad cold)
had her own prescription cough syrup and tablets which she took (which
came out of her own purse). The second time she went to drink out of the
bottle Elvis told her to take it easy and give it time to work. She
didn't listen. Not long after that she announced she was going to take a
shower and shortly after that said she was going to go lay down for a
while. Elvis stayed in the living room with the rest of us. Later, he
went to check on her and that's when all hell broke loose.
SO.........
#1 THEY were not taking an overdose of medicine, SHE was (and it was
her own!.)....and Elvis tried to reason with her
#2 Champagne glasses? Really! I doubt they even had champagne glasses
in that house! I guess that was suppose to be an extra little
"touch"
for the book.
#3 NONE of the authors of the Revelations Book were there when this
took place. Sonny was there , however he wasn't in the best of
shape
himself...so, if the version they wrote about came from
Sonny...........
So, there we have a very small portion of what happened vs. the dramatic,
book selling version. You see how an incident can take on gigantic
proportions and altho there's a grain of truth in it, it's almost
unrecognizable in the final version. Makes one wonder how much of the
rest of the book is blown out of proportion. (?)

Thank you DutchLA for clearing this story up. It is stories like this that
has been so blown out of porportion is why so many fans do not like this
book as it is full of incorrect stories. This also is one of the reasons
that the fans have no use for the three authors that wrote it. Being that
these authors were not present during this incident they should have not
written about it, or at least get the story straight! Their hearsay story
certainly got blown out of porportion!!
I can not believe that someone could wirte stories like this about someone
who they claim to be their friend. In my oponion, Elvis was their friend
but they were sure not his friend, because friends just do not do this.
Where is the loyality here? it sure was not here.......
Friendship = not the telling of tales on a friend, ture or not true.
Private things are private and should be kept that way.
Loyality= Faithful to your friend, always being there when needed,
defending when necessary, etc, etc

Well, at least we have that in common, Marty...

I also want to thank DutchLa for clearing that story up. Nothing that was
written in that book im sure is absolutly correct. You only have to look
at the way one of the authors Marty Lacker has behaved on this group, he
would not know the truth if it came up and hit him in the face. He has lied
over and over again on this group so why should the book he helped to write
be any diffrent. Im sure Elvis wasnt a angel but if I had people like Lacker
and Fike hanging around interested only in my money and what I could do for them
I would lose my cool as well from time to time.
