2. Paul Anka telling stories about Elvis. Told a story about Elvis shoot a hotel TV because Robert Goulet came on and he didn’t like him. Back in my teens I was at a friends house and he did the same thing to his parents TV. He shot .44 through the TV and out the wall of the house because Scoey Mitchell came on and he didn’t like him. He promptly received a sternly worded letter.

11. Guess what?
    When you work for and get paid by the Paul Anka Company Paul Anka better run the way Paul Anka is supposed to. That’s your job.
