Summary

This quote humorously alludes to the unfairness of life by contrasting the death of Elvis, an iconic figure, with the reality of many impersonators who continue to live on. It suggests that if life operated on principles of justice, those imitating Elvis would face the same fate as him. Beyond its playfulness, the quote highlights the irony and unpredictability of life, where talent and authenticity often do not receive the recognition or longevity they deserve, while lesser imitations thrive.
