DISGRACELANDElvis Presley loved the Memphis singer Johnny Ace. Johnny died long before Elvis’ became the King of Rock ‘N’ Roll and the way in which Johnny Ace died was as tragic as it was violent. It involved a game of Russian roulette, a greedy and dubious rock ‘n’ roll impresario, BB King, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, and a killer conspiracy and music history myth in desperate need of busting. Buckle up for a Christmas story like no other.
What are your favorite rock 'n' roll myths? Which ones need busting? Let Jake know at 617-906-6638, disgracelandpod@gmail.com, or on socials @disgracelandpod.
