Lots of old folks still work...but he could be living in a trailer park on his social security (if he had come to the US).
I was talking about Elvis. I think Neil would have been fine. His dad was a famous Canadian sportswriter, he (Jim) wrote a very popular YA novel about Hockey that's still regarded highly today. He could've very easily traded on his dad's fame to get started on a career.

(JC Penney - now that's a contemporary reference!)
