I don't think we really understand the impact Elvis had on these rockers when they were growing up in the late 50's/early 60's.
Analagy, there is a DVD release of Marilyn Chamber's Insatiable, with a picture of her in some very cut off shorts, which I recall in the early 80's was extremely sexy and provacative, but I could look away from the store display this is in, Kim's on 1st Ave, and see women walking down the street even shorter cut shorts. The pornification of western culture is incredible if you start looking for it.
