On Elvis Presley's birthday, I posted a drawing by an age-progression artist that illustrated what he might look like if still alive. The link below is to a collection of similar, age-progressed images of famous musicians. A different picture of Elvis is among them. Readers expressed skepticism in the previous post as to whether Elvis would look as handsome as the photo or, considering his less-than-healthy habits, if it was possible for him to make it to senior citizen status. Many of the personalities featured here had similar self-destructive patterns, so these images may elicit the same reaction. Regardless, the illustrations are an interesting point of departure for discussion.
