Micahel Jackson Vids

Before people start asking me what videos I was talking about in my MJ post, here are the videos that I was taking about. Enjoy!!

Mr. Jackson

OK. Quite a bit has been said by quite a few people about the death of one of the greatest performers in all of music. Whether you liked the music or not, you knew exactly who Michael Jackson was. You would find him well before you would start looking for Waldo. I've been silent on this because of many reasons. The main reason is that I wasn't sure what you people wanted me to say. I mean, how do I talk about someone who has done so much. This guy has been in the music business since single digits. He's got more awards for one album that most artists will ever have in an entire lifetime. an album that came out in 1982 is still in the top three in all time record sales (I'm talking about Thriller for all of you stupid people).

Here's what I remember from my childhood. There were exactly two artists that ruled the world at the time. MC Hammer (Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em!) and Michael Jackson. At the time he was already known as the King of Pop and he made sure you knew it. Now at about this time, he already made that transformation to that Caucasian alien looking thing that we have grown to know and love (it actually scared me a lot). He was so famous that he interrupted regularly scheduled programming during prime time on all major channels to premier his "Remember the Time" and "Black or White" videos. Who does that? You know you rule the world when you can just stop important political conferences just so you can premier a 5 minute video. I don't care what anybody says. That my friends is G status to the fullest extent. Those are some of the good things. Unfortunately there were some bad segments to this story.

When I mean bad I mean a couple of things. The most notable of course is the child molestation cases. There was on that happened in 1993 that he was cleared of. I remember this one because of the statement that he made on all channels. Once again, he is more important than all other news since he was shown on all major channels and most cable networks. There was another time 2006 or something like that where he was accused again. He was cleared again. However, ever since that first accusation he was been pigeon-holed as that guy who loves kids a little too much. Comedians and Neo Conservatives (I'm looking at you Fox News) alike have taken advantage of his plight and very few have created comedy gold. Those are the bad points. Now for my rant...sort of.

I've waited until all the festivities and most of the mourning was over partly because I wanted to observe how the world was going to take this. Most people took it the way I did. As soon as I heard I didn't believe it. I thought it was some elaborate prank created by some hacker that went into Jackson's blog and put this post up saying that the man was dead. Then I saw all of the news networks saying the same thing. I remembered all the good things that he did. The music, the performances, and the humanitarian work that he did all around the world. The bad things did come to mind but when somebody dies, the focus is never on the bad. At least that's what I thought. Some people treated it as if the most evil man on the planet finally passed away. Thus giving peace and harmony a chance to flourish. These people abandoned all the major things that he did for the world and made sure that every single thing that was ever so slightly overlooked was brought to the forefront. And every major and positive aspect of his life was left on the cutting room floor. You bastards!! How could you do that to anybody and think that you can get away with it? Wait...actually you will. People will forget what you said, as well as who you are. Say what you will, but it will not matter in the long run. All your actually doing is wasting your time diving into archives on a music start instead of talking about world affairs. Thanks for keeping the country informed.

In conclusion, we lost a legend and a culture icon. He will sorely be missed and his music will live on forever most likely. Say what you want about the man, but remember that he'll live on so much longer than you ever will. Rant all you want with your Neo Conservative left wing point of view. Remember that you'll be dead before anybody really cares. The only reason I brought it up is because I needed something to write.

UNTIL NEXT ENTRY...

Note: I could be starting a new joint-venture and gaining a little more exposure in the near future. Keep a lookout and I'll let you know what's up.
