Its a good thing Britney Spears wasn't around in the 50's

vs.

After watching the documentary, Elvis clearly was a controversial celebrity of his time because of the way he shook his hips. But he also opened up the door for other people to express their sexuality in their music, some more than others. Elvis was banned from some cities because they thought he wasn't something that was appropriate for people of the time. But look at us now, stars like Britney spears choose to wear virtually nothing in front of millions of people. And while some mothers try to prevent their children from seeing this, there is no way that she can be banned from entire cities. While Britney Spears is an extreme case, considering her most recent episodes, we cant necessarily say that she would be the same in terms of what music she produces and the clothes she wears if it weren't for elvis presely. Sure its probably true that someone else would have come along eventually but the differences between then and now in terms of what is appropriate clearly are pretty shocking.
