Elvis, Lennon & JFK is the autobiography none of them got to write whilst they were alive. Set in a fictional room on the evening of John Lennon’s murder the trio meet up to chew the fat. Away from the prying eyes of the press, each opens up their lives as never before. With only their peers to hear them each is released from the restrictive strains placed upon them whilst they were alive. The stories they tell are gripping and the arguments are fiercely fought as each tries to outdo the others with tales of their conquests and successes. Each is determined to prove that he left the greatest legacy by revisiting his triumphs whilst pouring scorn on the achievements of the other two.Initially John refuses to accept he is dead preferring to believe that he’s in the middle of some great acid trip. Finally the other two convince him and John discovers that he has joined a very exclusive club. Membership requirements are that millions of people around the world will forever remember where they were when they heard of your death. There are only the three members.From there onwards the trio engage in a battle of one-upmanship, each trying to prove that he was more important than the other two whilst alive and that, in death, he has left the greatest legacy. All three have valid claims and the reader is pretty much left to make up his or her own mind on the ‘winner’.A monitor in the room allows the trio to watch events as they happen on Earth. This has allowed both Elvis and JFK to keep up to date with all that has happened since their respective deaths. Over the years JFK has become something of a Beatles fan but, unfortunately for John, only likes the songs written by Paul McCartney. This provides several opportunities for humour and anger in equal parts. JFK has also discovered who was responsible for his death but only hints and drops clues to the other two.Elvis has kept constant tabs on both Priscilla and Lisa Marie and provokes many tear-jerking moments as he reflects on how they’ve carried on without him.The book is never far away from moments of humour, anger, incrimination and accusation. JFK belittles John’s peace protest and draws John’s condemnation of the Vietnam war. John also attacks JFK over America’s late entry into WW2 but JFK retaliates with the news that his brother Joe died in the war fighting to help the British. Elvis recalls John’s remarks after he was found dead and also surprises JFK by informing him he wasn’t the only one to dabble with Marilyn Monroe.Sinatra, McCartney, Bobby Kennedy, Yoko, LBJ, Nixon and many others figure prominently as the three pour out their memories. But perhaps it is when they reflect on their own lives that the book becomes most revealing.JFK finally realises he was always his father’s second choice to Joe Junior. Elvis realises that it was the hunger he endured when his father was in prison and he and his mother were virtually homeless that drove him to his eating obsession. John discovers that it was the death of his mother that shaped his career and drew him so closely to Yoko.All three are desperate to escape from the room but when they discover that they will be able to leave when people no longer remember them, all three become desperate to stay. Being first out will mean you were the least important.There is enormous humour and heartache in the book. Many of the stories will already be known to the reader but, as with all autobiographies, they gain more clarity and confirmation when told through the words of the trio themselves.A study of celebrity, a study of 20th century cultural history and a study of what lies behind fame, Elvis, Lennon & JFK is all these things and more. Even the most ardent fan and follower will leave the book with their impressions highly enlightened and their curiosity satisfied.
