Elvis is alive

We don't hear much about Elvis sightings these days. There
was a time that not a week passed without someone claiming
to have seen him. Of course some of these sighting were from
crazy people or just out and out pranks but some , a small
number were 'genuine' at least in so far as the reports were
honest if not accurate. Myself , I think it is sad , really sad that
so few people see him now because if Elvis is really dead then
what is the point of it all.... For better of worse , whether you
like the man or hate him, Elvis is the last real legend the world
has known. There will never be another like him.
But in spite of the lack of sightings Elvis may indeed still be
alive. I choose to belive that somewhere somehow he is in fact
alive and well. I'm not the only one. Many feel as I do.

Last real legend? I see where you're coming from but there are a number of others. What about Muhammad Ali? A living legend surely. Unfortunately (for you) he's also a devout Sunni Muslim so probably not on your radar...

Ali is not in the same class as Elvis. In fact no one is. There are no Ali impersonators and after his death there will be no sightings. With the exception of Jesus none of the past heroes or legends have had sightings of them reported. It's no accident that the Elvis cult is often likened to a religion. One interesting point. Betting shops have a limit on the odds they will pay on a bet that Elvis is still alive.

People have claimed to see Lord Lucan - who I consider to be a far better boxer than Elvis and considerably better at singing than Ali - as for Jesus her Vegas years were dogged by obesity and corruption and she is better off in hiding.
