LONG AFTER THIS

'BUT TEN YEARS AGO WAS THEN, AND BEFORE THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER PAST.' 'Long After This' remembers the music of Elvis Presley that author Howard Jackson sometimes loved and sometimes hated. In 'Long After This' the individual record albums are used to mark what was happening in the career of the singer but also events in the wider world and the life of the author. The memories of Jackson recall triumphs and tragedies and how a century and important years of change shaped both the idol and a fan.Without ever neglecting the music 'Long After This' insists upon the persistence of money and the impact of fate. 'Jackson is the King of left wing Elvis fandom.' Tom Watson
