The Beatles did more for the promotion of any nation than any other musical act in history. Col. Parker should have let Elvis play outside the U.S

Elvis would have been bigger than the Beatles. He was still a major global act without ever playing outside his borders.

What a wasted opportunity for the free influence of the globe of nations. Elvis could have single handedly had done for the U.S what the entire British invasion did for the U.K. Just a thought as I observe so many new Beatles fan 70 years later. Insane.

The Beattles were instrumental in helping create the booming drug trade in America. Elvis not so much.

The 10 Drugs in Elvis Presley’s System​

On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley was found dead on his bathroom floor in Memphis, Tennessee.
These primary 10 substances include:


  • Codeine: Codeine is a prescription pain medication that is used to address moderate pain. Today, it’s often found in prescription cough medication.
  • Morphine: A potent form of opiate, morphine is a highly controlled substance that is both addictive and dangerous when used without supervision.
  • Methaqualone: Methaqualone is a barbiturate-like sedative and hypnotic medication that is more commonly known by its brand name, Quaalude. This central nervous system depressant was popular for recreational use in the 1970s and 1980s.
  • Diazepam: Better known as Valium, diazepam is a benzodiazepine commonly used for conditions like anxiety and insomnia.
  • N-Desmethyldiazepam: More commonly referred to as nordazepam, this benzodiazepine can be used for anxiety, insomnia and seizures. Today, it is a less common choice than other benzodiazepine forms.
  • Ethinamate: Another hypnotic and sedative medication, ethinamate is a carbamate derivative that can be highly addictive.
  • Ethclorvynol: Sold under the name Placidyl, ethclorvynol was a GABA-ergic sedative and hypnotic medication popular in the mid-1990s for treating insomnia. Today, Placidyl is no longer available in the US due to dwindling demand in favor of safer and more effective alternatives, but it can still be found in other countries.
  • Pentobarbital: Pentobarbital is a short-acting barbiturate that can cause sedative side effects.
  • Phenobarbital: A barbiturate similar to pentobarbital, phenobarbital is a short-term drug used to treat anxiety, insomnia and seizures.
  • Butabarbital: Butabarbital is a barbiturate used to treat insomnia and anxiety disorders.
 
Parents not teenagers during that time were into Elvis's music.
The Beatles came along with their fresh new style of music teens could relate to and they bought millions of their records.
