What a CreepSeason 16, Episode 9Colonel Tom ParkerThere is no way to talk about Elvis Presley without talking about his manager/agent/public relations officer and overall CEO, CMO, and COO of all things for Elvis Inc--Colonel Tom Parker. I recently caught the Baz Luhrmann version of Elvis and was shocked at Tom Hanks’ version of Parker--a Stay Puff Marshmellow Man who seemed more annoying than a malevolent Creep who was part of the reason his only client died an early death and could have been far more secure in financial manners. Today we will discuss the LIES this man told his entire life about his past, what he told Elvis, and the wreckage it caused.
