Elvis Presley's last fiancee Ginger Alden joins us today to promote her new memoir Elvis & Ginger: Elvis Presley's Fiancee and Last Love Finally Tells Her Story. Ginger talks with Jim about meeting Elvis as a kid, and then later again as an adult when she finally got to see the inside of Graceland and almost instantly fell in love with the King of Rock n' Roll. She was 20 years old when Elvis, then 41, brought her to Las Vegas and where they began their courtship. In Ginger's memoir she tells of their whirlwind romance, Elvis's bouts of rage, her rare ventures beyond his Graceland bedroom, as well as the day that she found him dead on the bathroom floor.
Also, the loquacious and frequent guest on the show, LSU Faculty Senate President Kevin Cope joins Jim in studio to give listeners an update on the happenings around campus. He and Jim touch on the recent controversy concerning the DKE fraternity and a sign they displayed this past week. They also discuss LSU Faculty salaries, LSU Football (or concussion-ball as Kevin calls it), the ratio of whites to blacks in and around campus, and much, much more concerning LSU and the Professors who work it's campus.
