I believe it was one or more of the Memphis Mafia that said Elvis
soaked cotton balls in liquid cocaine and put them up his nose.
I could be wrong, but on my VHS tape set "All The Kings' Men" it
seems Lamar Fike told this story. If not there, perhaps and interview
on E! television.
Personally I never cared for Lamar and some of the other Memphis
Mafia members. Those stories benefited themselves and only served
to tarnish Elvis' image even more.
Some great friends huh?
I never cared for the MM, particularly with the advent of the internet. I once had an argument with Marty, and he turned out to be a nasty piece of work.
