Hello Dan,

>LL>Yesterday was Mardi Gras.  You would not believe how many Elvis
>LL>look-a-likes there were in the crowd.  And then I got to thinking.
>LL>One of them look-a-likes could have been the *real* Elvis...

DC>Was he the one with the walker or the one in the wheelchair?

Why does everybody assume that Elvis Presley is dead?  Just
because the media says that Elvis died at age 42 does not make
it so. Same thing with Jim Morrison, and Marilyn Monroe, and
Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, and scores of Playboy centerfolds,
including Anna Nicole, who also supposedly died young. The "dead"
are always placed in a closed coffin, with everybody assuming he/she
having died of a drug overdose. Funny how "drug overdose" seems to be
the excuse used by the media to convince folks that a star had died.
But how does anybody know that Elvis is dead?  How does anybody know
that Jim Morrison is dead?  For that matter, how does anybody know
that Anna Nicole is dead?  Or Marilyn Monroe?  Or Jimi Hendrix?  Or
Janis Joplin? Or any of a number of other stars, who supposedly died
of a drug overdose.  I mean, for somebody to be dead, there must be
a body.

Elvis Presley is supposedly buried at Graceland.  But his middle
name is misspelled on the tombstone.  So why should anybody believe
that Elvis Presley is really dead?

Jim Morrison is supposedly buried in Paris.  Anyway, his common law
wife (she was a junkie who died of a drug overdose not long after Jim's
disappearance) only leased the plot for thirty years.  When the lease
lapsed, the French government decided to pay the bill, thus making Jim
Morrison's grave a permanent fixture, rather than have to ship the body
(which did not exist) back to America.  So why should anybody believe
that Jim Morrison is really dead?
