Description
From his early days as a burgeoning superstar to the drug-addled haze of his final years, from "Love Me Tender" to "Suspicious Minds," from devoted father to estranged husband, Elvis Presley's life was one long quest to balance opposites. Yet no matter how he was cast - as a savior, a sinner, an idol, a has-been - Elvis was a deeply spiritual man. Twenty-five years after his death, The Tao of Elvis is the first endeavor to illustrate Elvis's Taoist nature and to interpret his never-ending search for purpose and meaning. Revealing his journey from light into dark, David Rosen examines the king's life through the structure of the Tao Te Ching. In reflections on forty-two Taoist concepts - one for each of his years - Rosen shows how the Tao, a mysterious force, was and is operating through America's king. Like the Tao, Elvis is everywhere.
