Newsweek
On September 9, 1956, I was flipping through the
television. I saw Elvis Presley performing and it was so
badass! I’d never seen anything like it before. Rock n’
Roll is still radioactive right now! Many adults such as
yourself see it as a big deal. There’s nothing wrong
with gyrating and hip thrusting. It’s a way to let loose
and express yourself. If you aren't with the Rock n’ Roll
movement you will be might as well be sent to
squaresville with the rest of the other squares. You
want to be one of the fly cats out here so you can get
the attention of a doll. All the dolls love a cat with a
classy chassis who’s hip and can dance! You’d have to be
kookie to not want to make a scene at the next Elvis
concert. This music razzes my berries.
