When he first came along, yes. His music and stage presence disturbed nearly as many older people as it excited young ones. Sermons were preached about how he would corrupt American morals, and editorials printed about how he would soften things up for a Communist takeover of the country. Ed Sullivan saw enough public demand to want him on his show, but was concerned enough about "Elvis the Pelvis" that the TV cameras showed him performing only from the waist up. Many of the people who actually met Elvis were surprised to discover that rather than being a sex-crazed hoodlum, he turned out to be a polite, soft-spoken Southern gentleman who was devoted to his mother.
