Day 6, Michael Jackson is still dead, and Elvis has left the building

I always wondered why Elvis impersonators made such a great living (or just had so much fun)impersonating THE KING, but know I understand. You could be big, small, Asian or African-American as long as you had 'the look' and could sing a lick.

With Michael Jackson, you'd have to put on white-face makeup and tow around a bunch of kids. (Rimshot)

1. Slimming down to 112 will be harder than what the Elvis imitators do

Could be a problem.

3. You could be 300+ pounds and get away with being an Elvis impersonator

plus there is simply the style of singing. I'm not a fan of either, but Elvis was groundbreaking Michael Jackson simply knew how to choreograph.

2. It is pleasing to also note that Twitter seems to have one foot in the grave as well

How quickly we forget.

7. It's not easy impersonating Michael Jackson when you have a nose.

You can moonwalk all day long but that's a dead give away.

8. A New Cottage Industry Is Born...

I've already claimed to have been the first person to have seen Jacko at a Dunkin Donuts. My daughter says she saw him with Elvis on a UFO. I'm sure our local 4th of July committee is fevrishly looking for a Jacko to join the Elvis and Neil Diamond impersonators.

Just wait...we still haven't had the funeral.

10. ...and Susan Boyle's coming to the USA.

Being a singer must suck on many levels.

Ringo Starr said it was better to be a Beatle because when the chaos got ramped up, you had your peeps around you. Elvis did it all alone.
