      abstract = {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.},
