Did you know?

That Depeche Mode's Personal Jesus was inspired by Priscilla Presley's book Elvis & Me? It was.

According to Wilkenpedia:
"The song itself was inspired by the book "Elvis and Me" by Priscilla Presley. According to songwriter Martin Gore, "It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It's about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?".
