Warning! ELVIS Uses 'FUCK' Word: 'Ode To A Robin' [Reads Orig. Poem: November, 1973]
Warning! Elvis uses the Fuck-word!"As I awoke this Morning, when all sweet things are born, A robin perched upon my windowsill to greet the coming morn...He sang his song so sweetly, and paused for a moment's lull. I gently raised the window, and crushed his fucking skull."-- Elvis 'Ode To A Robin'(01:22)
November, 1973

Elvis Presley's Bird Murder Poem
Like a mirror image of Elvis Presley's life, this poem written by the King of Rock 'n' Roll starts with promise and then ends in sudden, unforeseen tragedy.
The handwritten poem -- which was part of a massive Elvis auction-- is called, "Ode to a Robin," and was sometimes recited by Elvis on stage, and at one point used as the answering machine message at his home.

Linda Thompson was born May 23, 1950 in Memphis, Tennessee. Linda won several beauty pageants, including the 1972 Miss Tennessee USA title. In July of that year she began a relationship with the recently separated Elvis Presley and immediately moved in with him at Graceland for roughly three and a half years.
LARRY KING: Do you remember Elvis' poem, 'Ode To A Robin' that he told at your house on Old Hickory in Memphis in 1974?
LINDA THOMPSON: RCA tried to buy that from me and I said no. I'd love to hear it. My children were asking about it just the other day and I was looking for my tape. I have it on a little cassette tape somewhere.
(laughs).
That was his favorite poem.

Charles Burns [cartoonist and illustrator]
Charles Burns (born September 27, 1955 in Washington, D.C.) is an award -winning U.S. cartoonist and illustrator. He is renowned for his meticulous, high-contrast and creepy artwork and stories. He lives in Philadelphia with his wife, painter Susan Moore, and their two young daughters.
Charles Burns' earliest prominent works include illustrations for the Sub Pop fanzine and contributions to Art Spiegelman's comic magazine RAW.
Most of his short stories, published in various supports over the decades, have been collected in the three volumes of the "Charles Burns' Library" (hardcovers from Fantagraphics Books): El Borbah (1999), Big Baby (2000), and Skin Deep (2001). (A fourth and last volume, Bad Vibes, has yet to be published, which would have the Library collecting the entirety of his pre-Black Hole comics work.)
From 1993 to 2004, he serialized the 12 chapters of his Harvey Award-winning graphic novel Black Hole (12 issues from Kitchen Sink Press and Fantagraphics Books). In October 2005, he released a slightly remastered collection of Black Hole (hardcover from Pantheon Books).
In 2007 Burns contributed material for the French made animated horror anthology Peur(s) Du Noir.
Burns' high-profile illustrations include work for the Iggy Pop album Brick by Brick. His art was also licensed by The Coca-Cola Company to illustrate product and advertising material for their failed OK Soda product.
More recently, he has worked on advertising comapigns for Altoids and portrait illustrations for The Believer. In the early 1990s, his Dogboy stories were adapted by MTV as a live-action serial for Liquid Television.
Nora (2000) [NORA BARNACLE: JAMES JOYCE'S WIFE AND GARBAGE DISPOSAL]
First Look Pictures
Director:Pat Murphy
This period drama is based on the real-life relationship of the great Irish novelist James Joyce and his longtime lover, Nora Barnacle. Aspiring writer James (Ewan McGregor) meets Nora (Susan Lynch) in Dublin in 1904. While she lacks James' interest in literature, she shares his frustrations about the limitations of life in Ireland, and she encourages him in both his work and in his desire to try his hand in Europe. Nora also shares James' potent sexual appetite, and James finds himself at once thrilled by her enthusiasm for lovemaking and troubled by suspicions that she may be unfaithful to him. When James decides to relocate to Trieste, Nora joins him, and they eventually have two children together, but their relationship is often stormy -- James angrily suspects that Nora is having affairs with his brother Stanislaus (Peter McDonald) and their close friend Roberto (Roberto Citran) as he struggles with his writing and battles censors over his masterwork, {-Ulysses}. However, while they have troubles keeping their relationship together, they find that it's even harder for them to live apart from one another. Ewan McGregor served as both star and co-producer for Nora, which was backed in part by his production company, Natural Nylon Entertainment.
