Well I think that TV Guide mag is crap, and Elvis was largely overblown in my opinion, but some of the tunes he performed were pretty good. I just don't think the values that appealed to people then are the same thing people want now. Elvis was "shocking" at one point. Hes not every close now and with some of that sheen gone its only the music that carries him, so I have to imagine it accounts for some of his "failure" to stand time.
