Noun usage: Trump's presidency had a severely devastating negative effect on the United States of America and his refusal to effectively warn the country about the virus and take the appropriate measures to protect them against it, Trump has committed mass genocide against the American people, all for the purpose of trying to avoid hurting his reelection chances if the protective measures slowed t the economy.

    s. smith. i think elvis did paint himself into a corner and col parker helped him stay there. elvis wanted to be a good actor, an actor with some really good parts. parker wouldn't do that because elvis would then be hard to control and parker was about control. elvis was an adult and he could have overruled parker but never did. he let parker run him around by the nose. also elvis losing his mom so young was also a blow that he never recovered from. one thing for sure mama presley would not have let elvis do drugs..

    This was a great interview. I really do like Wayne Newton. But you know, I cant help but feel so sad for Elvis. Even those few private words he scribbled down on a piece of paper and then threw away were not private. They were retrieved from the trash and auctioned off at Southerby’s . Then bought by a friend who wrote a song and named an album after it. That just seems so very sad to me. ❤️

    There is a tv show with Wayne Newton- can’t remember if it was “The Haunting Of” but Newton talks about how Elvis appeared to him after his death, when he was performing in Vegas. Seems like Elvis’s message was for Newton to slow down, appreciate and live for those he loved; not to get so wrapped up in the business, etc. It was a fascinating story and I believe it. I think Wayne Newton has an extra sense of vision and mysticism about him- a kind of spiritual gift. His voice is certainly a gift, as was Elvis’s.

I saw you perform once here in Roanoke, VA (the town where you spent many of your young years, learning your musical craft) ... it was 2007 when I saw you, the same time you were on Dancing With The Stars 💃🕺 (you even had your dance partner Cheryl Burke with you) ... and the show was great ... as I said, you are quite the entertainer !! and this was a good interview ... 💜💜

    I'm sure Wayne honestly felt he was friends with Elvis as did a lot of Celebrities,such as Tom Jones ect.,,,truth is, I feel, is that ,very many people felt that they were great friends with him too. Elvis had that warmth and charm that when he talked to you,he made you feel like your the most important person in the room,Man or women! a lot of credit ,I believe should go towards his upbringing,his Momma was on to him at an early age ,to be polite and respectful with whomever your with ,another reason is because of his very humble childhood,he never looked down on people,that is not an easy feet when your famous and loved and adored the world over,,Elvis was a great performer but his personality was iconic!
