It's October twenty-sixth, and on this day in 1955... Elvis Presley took the stage at Vigor High School in Mobile, Alabama, but the show ended early after he told an off-color joke that didn’t sit well with the school principal. Later that day, he performed two more shows at the Greater Gulf States Fair in Prichard. It was a clear glimpse of the tension between Elvis’s raw stage presence and the more conservative expectations of some early audiences.
