Rock 'n' Roll Heaven

[GA Russell]

Here are guesses as to what assorted rock stars would look like today had they not died young.

Quite flattering to most of them and always supposing they had taken very good care of themselves and not suffered from a (not so rare) ageing process where your flesh just becomes puffy and sagging beyond certain limits without you being able to really control it (short of chirurgically lifting), thus distorting your features almost beyond recognition.

Not likely , for example, that Elvis could have slimmed down again from the way he looked post -1972, and started ageing again with the features he had in 1956 or so. Wonder what his old-man picture would have been like if they had used a picture from 1975 as a starting point for the subsequent imaginary ageing process. After all, you cannot really "unlive" the life you have actually lived.

In short, idolatry at its best but only moderately realistic ...
