Speaking of a hound from hell. Where the heck is Marchosias? At this point he'd be telling me "what a ridiculous farce, your gamble will only…

Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley are the two leading names in rock ’n’ roll since 1950’s. These two characters are irrevocably linked in the antiquity of popular music.

The imagery is rich, going so far as to even describe the berries as “savagely sweet,” and writes extensively on the wild…
