The Elvis Collection: Second 50's Scrapbook 4

The article in the upper right folds out for the next two images.  It's a pretty vicious hit piece.  It describes a performance as "group masturbation."  And, it ends with the quote, "It's so bad . . . It can't endure indefinitely."  Was mom presenting both sides of a controversial issue?  Or did she not read it?  






Once again, Elvis is "The Cat."  The article is from a magazine called Cowboy Songs.  Clearly whatever the name of the magazine, they were going to hop on that bandwagon.  



Check out the small article: Iran bans Rock and Roll.  This was back when the Shah was running the country, not the Ayatollahs.  




Oh what a tease.  That Elvis bubble gum package is empty.  No idea what happened to those cards.  I'd have to bet they'd be valuable.
