The Fate Of Graceland After The King’s Death

She believed that opening Graceland to tourists would be much more lucrative than selling it, so in 1982, the mansion was opened to the public, eventually becoming a National Historic Landmark in the United States. As the legend of Elvis Presley lives on, many more hidden secrets have come to the surface only after he passed, so keep reading for more interesting facts about the king of rock ‘n’ roll.

An Exaggerated Comparison
When the name Elvis Presley became quite big in the ‘50s, those who belonged to the older generation didn’t really buy into his antics and sexualized dance moves on stage. His army of fans may have been very much into it, but a lot of people weren’t, even making a pretty ludicrous comparison. Some people went as far as comparing his performances, along with the teenage girls who went to them, to the rallies by Adolf Hitler. A pretty exaggerated comparison, in our opinion, but this wasn’t the only outrageous thing that was ever said about the king of rock ‘n’ roll.
