Interesting concept. Here's my take:
If They Were Still Alive...
...Elvis would be headlining in Vegas.
...Jimi would be touring with The Moody Blues
...Janis would be doing whatever Grace Slick is doing now.
...Morrison would be the subject of a VH1 "Where Are They Now" segment.

Well, look. I mean, is he gonna be able to chase us? Cause if I woke up lookin' like that, I would just run towards the nearest living thing and kill it. -- Master Shake

Go through life not wondering 'what if', and know that everything happens for a golden reason. That, and Michael Jackson is a freak. Thank God he didn't die in 1983.

And Kurt Cobain would be raving in a straight-jacket.>
Reason #667 why "The Family Guy" rules (quotes from memory, so forgive any errors):
[Kurt Cobain on stage]
"Good night everyone! And don't forget, everyone -- stay in school and off drugs!!!"
[backstage with Courtney, talking with manager and agent]
Manager: "Congratuations on your seventh platinum album, Kurt. And your tour is a sellout the rest of the way!"
Cobain: "Thanks a lot! You guys remember my wife, Courtney Love?"
Manager and agent: "Who?"
[Courtney Love narrows eyes and glares]
[end]
