I think they would cut to a commercial or the music just wouldn't go over that well. I think there's a wrong assumption with most of these predictions that if anyone other than Elvis was on the Ed Sullivan show these days they would have the same level of career as Elvis. I think that rock music wouldn't have taken off with the mainstream and would still be considered "colored" music for another decade. White people would still be into big band until the 70s. GG Allin might become a folk hero to a small few but that's it.

In Forest Gump, a young Forest would play a crucial role in the formation of GG's stage presence.

The G.G. version of Having Fun With Elvis On Stage would be AMAZING

Honky Tonk Man, the greatest WWF Intercontinental Champion of all time, would work a GG gimmick in the ring.

- R.E.M.'s "Man on the Moon" would ask if Andy's "goofin' on G.G.," with a quick imitation of "Bored to Death."  It also would've given Jim Carrey a more challenging role in the movie of the same name.
-  A young Declan MacManus would be persuaded by his manager to change his name to G.G. Costello.
-  A defiant Chuck D would declare that "G.G. Allin was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me!"

Note that Extreme Elvis has already sort of fulfilled this prophecy (http://www.extremeelvis.com).

Sometime in the mid-seventies, the world would have been set on its ear when three members of Allin's inner circle went off the reservation to publish GG, What Happened?, a blistering tell-all revealing GG to be a stable, loving family man whose greatest pleasure was to stay in of an evening and work on his stamp collection.

I ate breakfast at a Mel's Diner today. Think about that joint post GG, yikes.

edit: I thought Mel's Diner was a national chain, apparently its only out here in California:

(its a generic "50's" diner.)

Not to mention "American Graffiti" would have probably been a scat/snuff film

Great pie a la mode.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

The Toilet Rock Man? A few years later an older Greg Valentine would adopt a Merle Allin gimmick and they'd team up

A Dino Sex gimmick would be even better. Those "special" drum sticks of his would be doubly deadly.

the New England Patiots logo would change, as it often referred to as 'the Flying Elvis'




It would have Kevin's visage with a brownish/yellowish smear trailing it as opposed to the red/white/blue
