A few excerpts from the interview:
LG - Just recently I was asked to be part of a major ABC network prime special about Elvis with Jerry Schilling. It is scheduled to air the evening of September 12th. They have asked me not only to speak about being Elvis personal hairstylist, but to go into his spiritual life as well, because that's what so many people are interested in today.
LG - Elvis a racist? that's absurd! No Way! Elvis was universal in his outlook; he accepted and respected all races, creeds and religions. Elvis was very evolved that way. He was the first to acknowledge that his music was rooted in the black race. Of course back in the day, everyone including Elvis used the word Negro.
I remember once that he told me, '"Negroes have more soul in one finger than most whites have in their whole body."
Many times during the closing months of his life we explored ways for him to take on the task of transforming his body and revitalizing his spirit. A plan soon emerged: we would go to one of his favorite places, Hawaii. We even had the perfect house in Oahu picked out. Elvis was burnt out after years of touring the country, and was excited by the prospect of taking off a year or so, if that was what it might take to turn everything around.
The idea of kicking back and relaxing, finally cutting out junk foods and getting off "all those damn pills they give me" really inspired him, lifting him from the boredom and the rut he had fallen into. "Larry, just one of my doses would wipe out an elephant. Man, if you were in my body you’d feel like a wrecked jalopy right out of demolition derby. Believe me; I know exactly what’s at stake."
