Well that’s sad, obviously he was one of the original rock and roll ground breaking musicians. I look around today and in many ways everything is so sad. In that incredible era when R&B met Country Western and a new thing was born, things seemed so optimistic and established barriers were taken down. Now it seems in some ways everything has retreated to a more dark time where ancient divisions are on the rise. So very sad.

He married a 13 year old

He married a 13 year old

Elvis started dating Priscilla when she was 14, he was 24.

Is that a defense of marrying a 13 year old?

No but he seems to be the only one that people talk about.

Probably the 13 year old being his cousin was the difference

Elvis should be criticized also
