Flaming Star

The Elvis superfan's burden to bear is the movie career.  Accept, reject, apologize for, bemoan, blame Parker, blame Hollywood, blame Hawaii, blame Elvis, defend Elvis, appreciate as camp, appreciate sincerely, avoid out of fear, avoid out of respect, like, love, endure?

My Flaming Star dreams were for Don Siegel (and King Creole/Michael Curtiz) to shine through, but....

Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
Oh why?
