EXTREME ELVIS PORTRAYS KING AS HE WOULD BE, NOT AS HE SHOULD BE

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) – Elvis Presley fans are all shook up over one San Francisco-based impersonator who calls himself “Extreme Elvis.” The thirty-something performer claims he portrays the King “...as he would have been if he were still alive.” To that end, Extreme Elvis often performs naked, occasionally “takes a doody” onstage, and even lets audience members rub his fat belly while he’s backed by a 9-piece band. Extreme Elvis also likes to pour birdseed in his orifices and let his pet chickens gobble it up. It sounds gross but he insists, “...it’s nothin’ the King wouldn’t have done.” As you might expect, Elvis fans have extreme thoughts about Extreme Elvis – mostly negative. In fact, he says that some sent complaint letters to Graceland. Although the Presley estate can’t stop Extreme Elvis from doing his act, he admits that his band sometimes gets gigs by “...showing up unannounced at karaoke bars and taking over.”
