I discuss why Elvis is one of the most dialectical and materialist figures in American cultural history. I talk about how he represents the antidote to neoliberal subjectivity, and why we need him now more than ever. I also bring in the philosophers Soren Kierkegaard and Alexander Garcia Düttmann, as well as Lana Del Rey. I play a lot of Elvis songs in this episode too:

Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

Love Me

Don’t Be Cruel

Burning Love

All Shook Up

Never Been To Spain

Reach Out To Jesus

If I Can Dream

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Can’t Help Falling In Love
