Today I'm joined by Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira - jk, I wish. Instead, I read from Peterson's 2021 memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark. It's a genuinely good memoir so you should check it out if she interests you; if not, I've gleaned and summarized the parapolitical elements if you don't.
We're talking about Sus Colorado, the military-industrial complex, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, Jimmy Page, Jimi Hendrix, Vegas, the Rat Pack, the Osmonds, Elvis as ascended master?, Fellini, Wilt Chamberlain, Briarcliff Manor, ghosts, Borax tycoons, Adnan Khashoggi, Khashoggi's guru Chandraswami and the can of worms that unlocks.
