By the '60s, he was his own parody, stunt double, postage stamp--the first Elvis impersonator.

...major advertising agency to undertake a comprehensive survey comparing three generations. They interviewed hundreds of twentysomethings from Big Sandy, Tenn., to Oak Lawn, Ill., to Riverside, Calif. They talked to scores of fortysomethings and sixtysomethings.

They are confident, savvy and, the survey concludes with a measure of relief, materialistic. "Gen X is committed," enthuses J. Walker Smith, managing partner at the polling firm Yankelovich Partners.
