Susan Brennan-Hodgson and her husband Roy have are mad and 'they ain't going to take it anymore'. They have now declared themselves independent of Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. Elvis the Reality New Zealand is now Independent of Elvis Presley Enterprises Susan Brennan-Hodgson and her husband Roy have are mad and 'they ain't going to take it anymore'. They have now declared themselves independent of Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc. They, like many fan clubs, thought they had to be approved by EPE and would get special benefits by being officially recognised. But, you don't have to be approved by EPE. Even the US Constitution protects fan clubs under the right to assembly. They have just had enough of EPE and their aggressive, hateful, megalomaniac antics and we hope many other fan clubs will follow their lead. Elvis fan clubs have thrived since the 1950's over 30 years before the EPE management started to ruin the Elvis World. They did not need approval from Elvis when he was alive to conduct their fan clubs in the way they wanted. Below is the official statement issued by the fan club and we applaud their courage. If enough Elvis fan clubs had the guts to follow this lead EPE would certainly have to take notice. Elvis the Reality New Zealand would like to take this opportunity to advise all our contacts, that an executive decision has been made, and we will NOT be renewing our Annual Fan Club Agreement with Graceland. For a long time now we have felt that Elvis' best interests are not being served, nor do we feel his memory is being preserved with the respect and dignity worthy of him. The significance of Elvis' legacy to his fans has sadly been buried in the stampede to commercialize "Elvis the Product" plus anything and everything remotely linked to the Presley name. Even "Graceland", Elvis' beloved home and retreat from the world, has become something of a circus. How sad he would be. The genuine fans, who are after all, the life blood of EPE, seldom receive the recognition they deserve. Likewise, those who have worked long and hard to preserve the true memory of Elvis and his music have often been disregarded and cast aside. Elvis the Reality resents the element of control constantly exerted by EPE over fan clubs, who for the most part do more to promote and preserve the Elvis dynasty than anyone else. We would like to remind EPE that without Elvis fans, EPE would surely crumble. Last but not least, we the fans are dedicated to keeping the spirit and the magic of Elvis alive forever. We do not need any outside help, because true love comes from the heart.

If
a New Zealander asks if you're feeling crook should you be insulted
or touched at his consideration? And why is going to bed with a hottie
no reason to get excited in the Land of the Long White Cloud?
