He'd never make it to 75 doing all those drugs.

3. If Elvis were alive today
He'd be frantically clawing at the inside of his coffin, trying to get out. Anyone who tells you different just ain't talkin' true.

7. Boy, you underestimate his popularity. No other entertainer comes close.

Elvis has been gone close to a third of a century, and he's still hugely popular.

And he was hugely popular when he was alive.

6. If it hadn't been the drugs, he would have died young anyway
The males on his mother's side of the family had a history of heart disease. I don't think any of them lived much past the age of 50.
