Then she should not have gotten into the car. In typical spoiled fashion,
she expected to treated special but Wally drove up to the wall just like
he does with all celebrities who participate in the ride.

The reason for doing laps with a celebrity in the car is to promote the
celebrity because there's a movie or music album coming out they want
to sell. NBC gets to have airtime with a movie or singing star during the
pre-race broadcast. The celebrity gets to act like they're having fun,
pretend they like NASCAR, and hope NASCAR fans will see their movie
or buy their album.

What does little Mz. Prissy Presley do? She acts like a spoiled brat and
alienates herself from NASCAR fans. I think her singing career is going
to continue to fail miserably.

more power to you and I wouldn't think of doing anything to hinder you from
it. Just don't ridicule us folks who aren't.

Also, I once had a chance to ride in a Cup car at Talladega. Ken Schrader
was giving media people rides when he was driving Junie Donlavey's car
sponsored by Red Baron. I said "no thanks" and have never regretted it an
iota.

I like watching racing and being around racing. I don't have any desire to
be in a race car.

From http://jayski.com : Presley not happy with Wally: Singer Lisa Marie
Presley, who performed several songs during pre-race ceremonies, had
quite an experience when she rode around the superspeedway with former
NASCAR Cup driver Wally Dallenbach. "I want to kick his [butt] right this
minute," she said. "It would have been great if we just went around really
fast in the middle of the track. But he perpetually wanted to make me feel
like I was going to die every two seconds, riding me an inch from the
wall."

If you have a phobia about coasters, it doesn't give you the basis
for an argument to defend that spoiled little heroin addicted bimbo.


Lisa Marie Presley did a lot of things, but heroin wasn't among them. She
claims never to have so much as tried it, and -certainly- wasn't an
addict.


So would it make you feel better if I called her a pill poppin' drunk?
I don't believe for a minute that she has never tried heroin either. I've
seen several photos of her where her eyes were sitting so far back in thier
sockets that she looked like a skull with eyeballs.
She currently looks & sounds like a used-up biker hag.
It's sad, but what would you expect from a talentless, dead rich guy's kid?

Like she really needs the singing gig ... actually, from a musical
standpoint, I think she's rather lame ... or NASCAR fans. The girl's got
more money in petty cash than you or I will ever see in our respective
lifetimes combined and multiplied exponentially to the 50th power.

And I know of the reputation NASCAR drivers have of taking people up to the
wall when they take 'em on rides, have heard stories of it for years and
that's the primary reason I didn't get in the car with Schrader back in the
1980s.

And yes, she bears some of the blame for not knowing what she was getting
into before she got into it.

But Alan, it sounds to me like you have a bee in your bonnet about Lisa
Marie Presley for other reasons beside this. Did you not like her daddy or
something?

Lots of things besides heroin can do that to a person.

She's after fame, not fortune.

Because I do like her father's music, I don't like her bratty ill-mannered
attitude. Other than knowing she married that nutcase Michael Jackson,
I have never cared to pay attention to Lisa Marie enough to know her
personality. By chance I happened to see her attitude during the NASCAR
broadcast and, yes, it ticked me off. Then, I read her crybaby comments
to the press and decided to voice my opinion of her. It's a shame she's
such a poor reflection of her father.

As good as her father was in his singing ability, he was nothing except a
druggie. The only difference between the two is the voice!

I think her father was a caring, kind, and generous person who liked
people; the public.

He wasn't a druggie until later in life. And he was seriously messed up at
that point. I have a recording of a concert he did on Sept. 2, 1974, in Las
Vegas where he was so out of it he basically didn't do anything but rant and
rave the whole time, topped off by one riff he went off on where, although
he was obviously not in the same zip code with everyone else, he threatened
to (a.) "break the GD neck" of and (b.) "pull the GD tongue out by the
roots" of anyone who was spreading rumors of him being on drugs.

That being said, he was also among the eight most significant figures in
popular music on the planet earth during the 20th century, the others being
Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, George Gerswhin, Bing Crosby, Frank
Sinatra, the Beatles and Bob Dylan.

OK, I read you clearer.

FYI, I thought the first single she put out from her first album was
actually pretty good, but IMHO at least to this point she hasn't showed that
she has enough talent to follow that up with any consistency.

Plus she sounds too much like Cher and I can't stand Cher.

I totally agree with you and there were many who took advantage of him. But
that still doesn't take away the fact that he was a druggie. Maybe, to take
away the pain or whatever, but it still is fact that he was. His daughter,
on the other hand, hasn't had to work one day for a living and surely to
goodness, there aren't people out there who tell her that she is her father
(voice). Believe me, I grew up during Elvis's era & I was one of his number
1 fans. One of his SCREAMING fans.. LOL
