Sometimes I wonder what I would look like if I was alive today.

Yup. And somehow, Michael Jackson looks like a black guy again. That one must've been based off of an early 1980s photo.
Michael Jackson looks like what he would look like if he had remained black.

“Traffic” is definitely one of the under appreciated bands of the 60s - 70s.
