Exhibition shows ‘dark’ side of Elvis

ELVIS PRESLEY had a reputation as a night owl and a new exhibit at the Graceland museum gives a peek into his nocturnal activities.

A jukebox, wrapped in yellow and green neon provided a steady supply of popular music. Film clips show family and friends discussing late-night excursions to an amusement park or his favourite cinema.

Then there’s the television with a bullet hole in the screen. “This is the only surviving television or appliance that Elvis shot out that was kept,” said Kevin Kern, a spokesman for Graceland, Presley’s long-time Memphis, Tennessee, residence.
