Anti-Flag - Betty Sue Is Dead

The Memphis Mafia, as the tabloid press dubbed it, originated during the first Blue Moon Boys tour, when Gladys Presley begged Scotty Moore and Bill Black to take care of her boy and protect him. As Tom Parker's contrivances weaken the influence of Scottie and Bill, they were replaced by others, starting with the relatives of Elvis, who enveloped him in a clan cloud. In addition to the uncles of Wester, Travis and Johnny, for whom various small positions were found in Graceland, there were Gene and Billy Smith, the sons of two brothers Gladys, who went out of their way to look like their famous cousin, copied his appearance and careless manners, despite to their wide asses and mental abilities, corresponding to the stereotype of the “white scum”. After relatives, another inner circle was made up of classmates - in the eyes of Elvis, indissolubly tied to childhood,it could not be otherwise. Restrained and unsociable, he was marginalized at school and was all the more grateful to the people who supported him at that time - Red West, George Klein and Marty Lucker, who entered his closest circle as soon as success came.
