  My mom went to highschool with girls who would catch the bus to go to see Elvis when he still lived at home. His mom would invite them in.

  I'll agree that times were different, but there's something creepy about a man in his late 30's being interested in a 14-year-old girl, and something odd about parents allowing their 14-year-old daughter to spend the night with older men.  That in itself seems wrong, even for that time.

  When my parents just got married, my dad, who was a Mason, was doing a custom house for the Reno gaming commissioner…He asked my dad “Do you want to go see Elvis tonight?”, my dad said ,”Of course”..so he called ahead, and my dad and my mom went to a Reno Elvis show…they went thru the back door, got the front middle table and a bottle of champagne. When Elvis came over to Kiss my mom(as he did back then), my dad told my mom,”Give Elvis a kiss”…my newlywed mom said,” No honey, i’m married now”…and declined the kiss from Elvis. I thought that was the coolest story of my mom and dads love story.

  It’s like the interviewer so disappointed when they say they weren’t having sex with him

  Kindly do the expose on all of those rock n roll bands in the late 60s and 70s who slept with the “baby groupies” who were 13 to 15 years old and let’s see all the comments about this being a different generation.

  Even in the 80’s , in the region where I grew up, the age for girls to get married was 15 years old, my 2 older sisters got married at 16 years old, as well as my friends and relatives, I was the only one who resisted, but When I reached 18 I was under a lot of pressure from my father and I suffered a lot of bullying for being single. I only got married when I was 35 years old, already living in the United States.

  I’ve always thought his relationship with Priscilla was off and didn’t understand what her parents could have been thinking. Knowing there were a series of them just confirms there was something wrong. <br>Mid last century men in their 20s dating 14 year old girls was not acceptable at all. My parents would never have allowed that.

  What kind of mother would let her 14 year old daughter spend the night with Elvis.

  i remember seeing the tv show Ed Sullivan where Elvis appeared on stage and they only filmed him from the waist up due to his now famous gyrations. [i&apos;m not ancient; they were reruns or documentaries.] the pressure to marry young was very strong. i graduated high school at age 17 and was accepted into a school of nursing. my parents refused to let me go. &apos;decent&apos; women didnt work; they got married, had babies and kept a home clean. i got married at 18. nineteen yrs, four children and one divorce later i went to nursing school. best thing i ever did for myself and my children.
