Elvis and Priscilla: The known icon and unknown wife Pelican4 July 2024 You know him as the King of Rock and Roll. A musical superstar. You’d likely know of his drug addiction struggles and highly documented death. The chaotic and glitzy high-budget musical biography Elvis (2022), directed by Baz Luhrmann, certainly depicts this. However, if you strip back the extravagant set designs and intense choreography, you’re left with a story that has been glossed over entirely in Luhrmann’s Elvis. The raw, real, and gripping story of Priscilla Presley. Film and Production0 Comments72 views
Wilson Tucker was flung into Parliament. Is he finding his feet? Pelican3 July 2024 To say Wilson Tucker was “elected to the WA Legislative Council” in 2021 attributes a certain intentionality to the good folk of the Mining and Pastoral Region that is perhaps undue. For sure, Tucker did win the fifth available seat for the district, fair and square, in an election conducted scrupulously according to the laws of the day. But his constituents can only be said to have “elected” him in the sense they “elected” to stub their toes while walking past their coffee tables that morning. The people spoke, but it came out a bit funny and sounded better in their heads. Politics0 Comments200 views
