Elvis Presley, known as the "King. Was an American singer, actor, and cultural he influence on music and culture remains unmatched. His early interest in gospel music shaped his style, blending rock, country, and blues into a revolutionary sound. Presley gained national attention with hits like Heartbreak Hotel (1956), Hound Dog, and Jailhouse Rock. His stage presence, charming looks, and charisma made him an instant star. Beyond music, Elvis starred in over 30 films, including Love Me Tender (1956) and Viva Las Vegas (1964). In the 1960s, Elvis dominated the charts but faced challenges from the counterculture movement. A 1968 television special marked his comeback and revitalized his career, showcasing his enduring appeal. In the 1970s, Las Vegas and his tours solidified his legend. Elvis struggled with prescription drug dependency. Despite the premature end of his career, his legacy continues through his music, Graceland (his home museum), and millions of fans worldwide.

Now why would Google take an interest in one of the largest counterculture festivals in the world? Could it be the massive congregation of people who partake in mind-altering experiences, are ripe for the propaganda Google and the Hollywood establishment aim to sell them? Think about the music…the demonic imagery…the significance of the Burning Man effigy (human sacrifice?). This year in particular, corporate media jumped right on reports of catastrophic floods, playa foot, outbreaks of Ebola, even the potential for a “Lord of the Flies” situation. How will this year’s participants be changed when they re-enter the real world? With love and community-mindedness or fear in their hearts?

Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon with Dave McGowan. Rock and Roll Conspiracy or Coincidence? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_p68VYabic The late great Dave McGowan speaks with me about Laurel Canyon, the music and the myth, Charles Manson, the films stars of the era, and mysterious military installation, Lookout Mountain Laboratory. Bands like The Doors, Love, The Byrds, The Monkeys and Frank Zappa and the Mothers would all rise from the same scene and give birth to the hippie subculture that may not have been as organic as it appeared. Dave himself describes the central thesis of his book Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream this way, “the music and counterculture scene that sprung to life in the 1960s was not the organic, grassroots resistance movement that it is generally perceived to be, but rather a movement that was essentially manufactured and steered. And a scene that was supposed to be all about peace, love and understanding had a very dark, violent underbelly that this book attempts to expose.”
