In this episode of Rock is Lit, Chris Charlesworth talks about Elvis’ Gold Records album, when Chris’ dad took him to see The Beatles in England in 1963, seeing The Who with Keith Moon on drums, what he’d ask Elvis if he could, one of the inspirations for his novel 'Caught in a Trap: The Kidnapping of Elvis'—the novel 'The Fan Club' by Irving Wallace, published in 1974—and the research Chris did on Elvis for his novel, mixing fact with fiction, the significance of the year 1975 for Elvis and in 'Caught in a Trap', Elvis’ relationship with his manager Colonel Tom Parker, the Memphis Mafia, what it might have been like for Elvis if he’d been able to step outside his insulated bubble, what the Baz Luhrmann movie about Elvis got right and wrong.

In the final segment, Stephanie Myers talks about real-world examples of kidnap plots against Elvis, including one that happened in the mid-1970s in Las Vegas and an attempt to rob Elvis’ grave after his death.
