Elvis - Analysis, Parapraxis


Recommended Posts

Stumbled onto an interesting hour-long Podcast by Malcolm Gladwell (former New Yorker writer) at his site, Revisionist History.

 

The full hour is devoted to making a case that Elvis suffered with Parapraxis (a Freudian slip, to put it simply) when singing the monologue portion of "Are You Lonesome Tonight".

 

The episode is mostly touching and sad, but has some feel-good moments (Elvis had a great, infectious laugh).

 

Jack White is interviewed half-way through, and takes his own stab at the Elvis tune, which is pretty great.
