The King of rock 'n' roll sold his soul for a song
The Washington Post: January 6, 2005 by David Segal
...A businessman named Robert Sillerman, who made a fortune buying and selling radio stations and concert venues, now owns the King and he's going to sell him -- or his likeness, anyway -- in markets he calls "under-Elvised."... countries like Japan where, he said in interviews, images of Presley are surprisingly hard to find.
Sillerman has gobs to invest in all sorts of ventures, and he could slap Elvis on mugs, T-shirts and souvenir mini-bowling balls from here to Okinawa. ...more...

Purported Elvis Water Fetches $455 Bid on eBay
Seller Says Presley Drank From Cup During 1977 Concert

MIAMI (Dec. 29) -- Wade Jones of North Carolina says he snared a plastic cup from which Elvis Presley drank at a concert in 1977 and kept the cup and the water for 27 years before selling the remaining few tablespoons of water on eBay.

The winning bid for the water was $455. He says he won't sell the cup.

A 40-year-old resident of Belmont, North Carolina, Jones said he was 13 when he attended a Presley concert at the Charlotte Coliseum in February, 1977, six months before the death of the rock 'n roll icon.

After the concert, Jones went to the stage looking for a souvenir. A policeman gave him the plastic foam cup, from which he had seen Elvis drinking earlier, he said.

Jones said he kept the cup and water in his freezer until 1985, when he transferred the water to a vial and sealed it. Over the years, he said, he acquired a photograph of Elvis holding the cup at that concert as authentication for his claim.
