Dead Musicians - What would they be doing now if still alive? Who do you miss?
Hendrix - setting the stage for the 22 century. He would be 70 this year.
John Lennon - not sure what he would be doing, but I would be listening. 1/2 of double fantasy was awesome. 1/2 of it was Yoko. In the world of Venn Diagrams, those two did not overlap.
Lowell George - Little Feat could have kept recording well into the 90s.
Frank Zappa - I cannot even begin to imagine where he would be now.

Elvis. He'd probably be living in an old-timer residence, under a borrowed name, fighting Egyptian pharaohs and bugs from outer space w/ president Kennedy. Taking care of business, you know...

The Big Bopper would be a rapper.
Buddy Holly would be a big time producer. And, have a Waves bundle named after him.
Richie Valens would be a flight instructor at the Monterrey Airport.

Yeah, Keith's been dead for years, but nobody thought to let him know.

With Moon and Entwhistle you could have a Who reunion.
With Lennon and Harrison you could have a Beatles reunion.
With Bonnam you could have a Led Zeppelin reunion.
And so on...
If Les Paul was still alive, he'd most likely still have his gig going that he did right up until his death.
If Kurt Cobain was still alive, he'd probably be in prison for shooting several people while be depressed.

Uhhhhhhh, Jaco.
But he'd be in a mental ward somewhere, so no difference.
