Double Trouble: Bill Clinton and Elvis Presley in a Land of No Alternatives by Greil Marcus
Requirements: PDF Reader, 291 KB
Overview: In June 1992, when all the polls showed that Bill Clinton didn’t stand a chance, he went on the Arsenio Hall Show and played "Heartbreak Hotel" on the saxophone. The author – one of America’s most insightful critics – named this as the moment that turned Clinton’s presidential campaign around. In this book, Marcus traces the impact of Elvis Presley on the Clinton years. Both men were outsiders, "no-count" southerners, cast out of American society, embodying the most extreme fantasies of possibility and disruption, even as they reaped its greatest rewards. Focusing also on their respective followers – among them Nirvana, Hillary Clinton, Andy Warhol and especially Bob Dylan – Marcus pursues the question of how culture is made and how, through culture, people remake themselves.
