    Icons of Rock-book quote

    I thought this was insightful:

    Charismatic and cocky yet humble and polite, generous and charitable yet paranoid and tyrannical, Elvis embodied the contradictions of his country, his time, and his genre. If his life and career would take a darker turn and end in tragedy and dissipation, his best music remains as compelling as ever. His original status as the King of Rock and Roll has never been seriously challenged, and he's remained a bottomless source of inspiration for the generations of rock and rollers who've taken up the cause in the decades since that July night in Memphis.
