No you don't. If he were, he'd be struggling to make a living in this Britney Spears world.

Worse, he'd have to squeeze into spandex and fight for a role in "Mama Mia!"

Q. What would Elvis [Bach, Napoleon, etc. etc.] be doing if he was alive today?

A. Knocking on the lid of his coffin.

What? What!? Elvis DEAD?

No way. I saw him just last week at the old Cocoa Palms Hotel pool in Kapa'a -- where they filmed "Blue Hawaii"-- and he looked great.

Say, that reminds me. Didn't they exhume his body in Vienna at one point and Anton Bruckner jumped into the coffin and kissed his skull? And in doing so, Bruckner's glasses fell off and got re-interred with Beethoven?

Actually he like any professional would have adapted with the times and be doing fine. Plus he'd probably be playing keyboards for Dream Theater as a side-project

They were never that high to begin with and they were definitely gone after a few insults.
But think about it, Js Bach and Timbaland promotes Boyz 2 Men comeback and produce Will Smiths new album. It can´t go wrong.

If Bach were alive today he wouldn't have had so many darn kids! He also wouldn't have to rely on churches for income. Think of what he could have done with a great agent. Bach schools everywhere.

Would you really wish 21 kids on anyone, especially a Church musician? And not only having to take care of them and his wife, but make a new piece for your choir to sing each week?

Bach's music is still alive and that's what counts in today's world.

Yeah maybe if the Church musician only had 10 kids he could afford a better Piano

( I had too fit insturments into this thing somehow) I wonder what kind of music bach would have written for the modern Piano. And completely off topic why doesn't someone get the spell checker on this thing to learn how to spell BACH!!!!!!!!

If Bach were alive today he would hold the world record for most children, it's over 9000!
