[W]hat upset grownups of both sexes about Elvis' performance was that he had broken the deepest taboo of all. He used his body as rhythmically and erotically and seductively as a woman--that was the forbidden territory he had entered.

The kids, however, not yet grown into the stereotypes of gender, saw in him an exhilarating physical freedom.
