I’m thinking those in the photo are older than that. Elvis himself was born in 1935. I’m thinking the average age of the people in that crowd was mid-20s which means they’d be in the mid-to-late 80s today. Would have been cool to be at that concert from so long ago. I’m told there was so much optimism in America during the mid 1950s.
Bloomberg gives the photo date as 1957.
If the crowd is the same age as Elvis, and clearly they are not.
Most of the Elvis cohort are still living.
Suprise.
