This is because a number of those books by family, friends and the like have confirmed the events and occurrences which originally appeared in "EWH?". However, said book was primarily written and overseen by a trashy tabloid hack (Steve Dunleavy) who put a slant on certain events and stories in the book in order to achieve the 'drama' required to make it sell. Therefore, those events and stories would probably have occurred albeit with slightly different outcomes in order to portray Elvis in a more negative spotlight. It has been reported that Red, Sonny and Dave were somewhat subdued when they first read the finished product and discovered that Dunleavy had undertaken a certain amount of artistic license. If you read Sonny's "Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business" (Triumph Books, 2007) you will find a more mature and balanced perspective of events (most of which were originally published in "EWH?") only this time written with a great deal of love and affection. Hope this helps. (less)
