I don't know if Elvis' number coming up in the last days of 1957 was orchestrated purposefully or not, but when Elvis was drafted into the army for a two-year stint, there was no doubt a lot of controversy swirling around him. It's no secret that there were many people who didn't like Elvis. They didn't like his long hair, his raw sensuality, his "suggestive" stage presence, his success, his fame, or anything else about him. So it's not too farfetched an idea to believe that his selection for service was perhaps less than random. If someone did pull a few strings to get Elvis inducted--and thus put a damper on his career--they didn't understand who they were dealing with and the movement that was under way.
