They went out of their way to make Elvis look bad. Red & Sonny were ignorant about addiction. They also made fun of his philosophy & interest in metaphysics. According to Red & Sonny, We are supposed to believe they are fantastic & Elvis is a buffoon. They are the original haters. Why didn't they quit if Elvis was so horrible? The claim they wrote this book to help E is ludicrous. This book seems to be written for revenge and to build up Red & Sonny & tear Elvis down.
