RIP Michael Jackson

Friday, June 26th, 2009

Unless you have lived your life in a cave chances are you would have danced to a Michael Jackson song in your youth. Like him or not, but Micheal Jackson was the undisputed King of Pop. He was a great entertainer, music producer and trail blazer of the 1980s.

Now I’m not an 80s revivalist, but his music (which I believed peaked in the 80s) was a defining moment of the last century. It’s sad to hear of the sudden passing of this great star.

Michael (although you dangled infants out of hotel room windows, did questionable things with young boys, spent ridiculous amounts of money on facial surgery, changed your skin colour, lived in a theme park, had a chimp as a pet and did questionable things to it, married the King of Rock’s daughter, named your children ‘Princes’, wore a particulate mask in public, pretend to sleep in a hyperbaric chamber and grabbed your crotch mid-dance), you will be missed.
