"Surrounded by the parasitic presence", as journalist John Harris puts it, "it was no wonder that as he slid into addiction and torpor, no-one raised the alarm: to them, Elvis was the bank, and it had to remain open."
"Dikelilingi oleh keberadaan parasitik", ujar jurnalis John Harris, "ini tak mengejutkan seperti halnya ia terjerumus dalam kecanduan dan penurunan, tak ada satupun yang menimbulkan alarm: bagi mereka, Elvis adalah tepian, dan itu masih terbuka."
