Born a twin on this day in 1935, Elvis A. Presley changed the world of music and, yes, culture. I like to mention him and his music as often as possible because there is always a chance that some young person doesn't know anything about him, or where rock and roll came from, and why he mattered then and matters still.
Do me this favor if you know nothing about him: take two minutes and sixteen seconds from your day, and listen/watch to this number from 1970: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U914MUX1uoc
or this one, same year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plNdelzFCAY
Elvis is turning 91 in Heaven today and he is still the King of Cool.
