C-W9 The Many Faces of Elvis
Early 4 Week Class | Available (Membership Required)
Elvis Presley is a true American icon. The king of rock’n’roll. A legend for the Ages. In his lifetime though, he went through a series of distinct phases: Dirt poor mama’s boy, Elvis the pelvis, GI Joe, Hollywood Hunk, Viva Las Vegas, and finally bloated drug addict. We will examine the many faces of Elvis - what they were and how they came about. By doing so, hopefully we will gain more insight into his life and appreciation for his contribution to our culture. Long live the king!
