The mistake people are making is trying to apply what’s unacceptable now to another era. The other big problem is, these girls all had parents who didn’t seem to be bothered about their young teenagers being missing. It’s a difficult issue to get past. There’s a legend about LZ in a hotel room with a girl and a fish that makes tough reading and would result in arrests and end of career stuff if it happened now, but is still bragged about and remembered fondly because it happened “back then”.

One of my favourite radio presenters was due to do an interview with one of the people who claimed to be part of the fish incident - it could have been Richard Cole (not sure). When the presenter read the guy's book and found out he was bragging about such a vile act, he cancelled the interview. This happened a few months ago. Much respect for that.

Everyone either drunk or high, rock stars, roadies, managers, agents, local celebrities, other hangers on, TVs being thrown from hotel windows into the swimming pool 20 floors below, loud music bellowing, beautiful women swanning about either topless or naked... Do you really think someone was going to go around saying”excuse me young lady have you got ID please?”

Now, according to calculations I spotted in a Sunday newspaper colour supplement recently, there are 85,000. Intriguingly, that means one in every 3,400 Americans is an Elvis impersonator. More disturbingly, if Elvis impersonators continue multiplying at the same rate, they will account for a third of the world’s population by 2019.
