Lisa Marie Presley On Good Morning America Tomorrow - Will They Ask Scientology Question
Tomorrow morning Lisa Marie Presley will be on Good Morning America promoting her new album. I'm hoping they will run someone out from Nightline to do the interview. Why? Because the song lyrics on Lisa's new album and a blind that I ran not so long ago make it pretty clear that Lisa Marie is saying bye bye to Scientology. She is one of the big ones. She and her mom and the kids and grandkids. It is like one big nest of Scientologists. If this whole group said bye it would really crumble the foundation of the place. Tomorrow GMA needs to ask her about the album and the lyrics. It is a normal question to ask about lyrics on an album. There would be nothing to ask Taylor Swift if you could not ask her about the lyrics and who they are each time. Ask Lisa about them and see if she will go off on Scientology right then. She will be on Leno later in the week and unless someone throws it up on a cue card he will have no clue. She will be on Kimmel but he doesn't like to make anyone mad so he won't ask. It is up to GMA. Will they do it? (Thanks Mooshki)
I'm sure no one will have the balls to do it.
ReplyDeleteNow I wanna read the lyrics. Note, I did not say I want to hear her sing them - I remember that last album and the Oprah appearance. That was plenty of her singing, thanks.
ReplyDeleteI vaguely remember the blind he's referring to... I believe we narrowed it down to her or Marie Osmond... anyone have the time to look for it?
ReplyDeleteIn the song "So Long," Lisa Marie sings:
ReplyDeleteThis here is a city without lights
Those are all the people without eyes
Churches, they don't have a soul
Soup for sale without a bowl
Religion so corrupt and running lives
Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end
Chorus:
So long, seems that I was so wrong
Seems I wasn't that strong
Dead wrong, and now I'm long gone
Wrong side, I've been sleeping on the wrong side
Stains all over my soul I can't hide
Nothing's more clear than goodbye
These roads they don't lead to anything
These people they talk, they say nothing
Actors who don't have a part
Heartfelt people with no heart
I'll find a new crowd
Make a new start
Farewell, fair weathered friends
I can't say I'll miss you in the end
(Chorus)
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, say nothing at all if you've nothing nice to say
Ok, just utilized the link Enty kindly provided - duh. Mondays, am I right??
ReplyDeleteThanks, Em.
ReplyDeleteWow, deep!
ReplyDeleteJuicy! Yes, the link is worth checking out, it is also here:

This religion is as fake as Blohan's vagina looking lips.
ReplyDeleteLMP is even more cynical than I am...she is an inspiration to me. I wish her happiness.
ReplyDeleteShe's been very unhappy for a long time. She left the country to get away from her mother and the church...I feel for her..
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that children are raised in this cult who never manage to grow up to realize how fucking stupid, corrupt and delusional it is so good for Lisa Marie. It may have taken 3 decades to get there but she's finally free as are her children. I don't think her mother is leaving any time soon. All religion/cults should be wiped free from the earth to be honest.
ReplyDeleteWow, wonder if she realizes how much support she would get from strangers? Elvis could finally RIP.
ReplyDeleteFound it!

Oh boy, COS isn't getting Elvis royalties anymore and Johnboy is discussing a settlement w/the employee from the St. Regis?!? What is the world coming to?!??? Bwahaha
ReplyDeleteThe "alleged" St.Regis...the hotel has not been publicly named to my knowledge. This is just a pretty good guess.
DeleteI was wondering whose auction this was:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/L-Ron-Hubbard-Scientology-Dianetics-Library-/230504436824?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ab229458#ht_4059wt_128
I could see Lisa Marie and her kids leaving, but I doubt Priscilla will go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Priscilla still running Elvis Inc or whatever they call it...if so the church is still getting money from her...
ReplyDelete@Cancan, that was an interesting link you gave to:
ReplyDeleteL. Ron Hubbard - Scientology & Dianetics Library
World’s Largest Private Collection of Authentic LRH
$3,500,000.00 EBAY
Isn't it mysterious? Dying to know whose collection it is. It has to be a longtime church member now leaving.

ReplyDeleteOoooh, let her go on Live with Kelly! I'd love to see Kelly ask her about the church and then Lisa would let the world know what she really thinks (she's good at that). It'd be fitting payback for Priscilla treating Kelly like crap when she was on the show. What a b*tch. And also for the church and her Mother making her marry Michael Jackson in an attempt to get his money.
ReplyDeleteI bought Lisa's first CD. It wasn't bad, but I need something a little more upbeat.
I am correcting myself : 8 previous offers . Guess if the books came autographed they would get the asking price ?
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad for her to manage to get out of that cult.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, lisa, to the real world. Leave that batshit " religion" behind.
ReplyDeleteShe is pretty outspoken, so if she gets asked, she probably will answer. Good for her.
ReplyDeleteThere will be a "tipping point" for the COS and hopefully that day will come sooner rather than later.
ReplyDeleteIs Cilla a bitch? I think so, she objected to Elvis' spiritual reading and inquiry to the point where she worked with Col. Parker to bully him out of his interest yet she got sucked into a major cult.
ReplyDeleteit'as hilarious to think that Pricilla runs the show when he was practically married to someone else when he died (Brody Jenner's Mom)and barely touched Cilla after Lisa Marie was born. He had a huge issue with Madonna/Whore etc.
ReplyDeleteI think ole Elvis would be turning in his sequined coffin to know his money was being donated to that cult.
This is kind of interesting, her Wiki reads:
ReplyDeleteBeliefs
Presley was a Scientologist but recently quit.

I forgot to add this (per VV update today):
ReplyDeleteLisa Marie Presley Removes All Mention of Scientology From Her Official Website (UPDATED)
I found it most interesting that the article mentions that Kirstie Alley has one foot out the door - if that's true, then probably Travolta does too (they are OG Besties.)
ReplyDeleteIt's MY theory (based on nothing but my ol' brain and boredom) that the COS is leaking all these molestation accusations agaist Travolta because he's trying to leave the church. This is the kind of stuff members pay the church to keep quiet, and that the church holds over members so they won't leave (sort of the modern version of the old hollywood studio model.) Thoughts?
@Liz--I think this could be the tipping point. Lisa Marie is not that famous anymore, but she is still Elvis's daughter. If Travolta were to leave COS and come out at the same time, that could trigger an avalanche, because all the closeted COS celebs would feel free to leave as well. Past a certain point the Sea Org thugs would be overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteThere's lots of marginal celeb Scienos who might break with COS if it was as part of a wave. Never Tommy Boy or Kirstie, but the likes of Beck, Juliette Lewis, etc.
That's interesting about Kirstie.
ReplyDeletewouldn't be lovely if being gay wasn't that big of a deal anymore, so asshat cults couldn't prey on vulnerable people who were afraid to come out of the closet anymore - because there were no closets?
ReplyDeletethat would be a beautiful thing.
oh yeah, fuck you CO$
It's no coincidence that as homosexuality and casual drug use become socially acceptable, and serious addictions (drugs, gambling, etc.) become recognized as medical issues rather than moral failings, that COS has waned. Take away the leverage of the auditing confession "secrets" and COS will wither to insignificance.
ReplyDeleteI commend her. It is hard getting out of a cult. I know. I used to be a Mormon, and breaking through that kind of brainwashing ain't easy.
ReplyDeleteTold y'all it wasn't Leah Remini ;)
