This fresh interpretation explains how an untutored musician
changed music while at the same time playing an inadvertent role in
the youth rebellion that has shaped the Baby Boomer generation into
the 21st century. Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two-room house
in Tupelo, MS, on January 8, 1935. He died at his Memphis home,
Graceland, on August 16, 1977. In those 42 years, Elvis made an
indelible impression on pop culture the world over. Elvis Presley,
Reluctant Rebel: His Life and Our Times probes both the man and his
influence, delving deeply into the personality of its protagonist,
his needs and motivations, and the social and musical forces that
shaped his career. Elvis's musical talents and liabilities are
explored, as are his records, films, and live performances and his
relationship with his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, whom he allowed
to manipulate him as a money-making machine. Readers will learn
about Elvis's personal life, his devotion to conventional religious
and political beliefs, and his decline into self-destruction and
death. Finally, the book explores Elvis's impact on the musical and
racial revolutions of the 1950s and 1960s, his legacy, and his
importance in shaping a generation of Baby Boomers. Photographs A
