RIP Michael Jackson?

[alcoholandcoffeebeans]

Bad was a pretty decent record, too. Although it was no Off The Wall.

Haven't listened to either of those two yet (since this happened, I mean).  Think I might bust them out tonight.

I only have the 12" of Bad but it's pretty sweet. the Extended mix is like 8min.

never liked anything he did once he went solo. Jackson 5 stuff was fun to listen to, though

Much love for the Jackson 5 material... countless terrific tunes.

Now I'm kind of tempted to crank some Jackson 5 stuff tonight.  Decisions, decisions. 

Dude, it's FRIDAY!!!!  Crank them ALL!!!!  :-)

^^ that's the right idea!!!!!!   love me some jackson 5, i might have to take over the jukebox a little at work tonight... but i have a feeling people will be doing that for me

It's on the top, right-hand side of the page.

Farrah Fawcett was the star that every young boy lusted after and Michael Jackson was the star that lusted after every young boy. ZING

the king of pop is dead.  I'm listening to my fav. MJ track Billy Jean as I type this.  Most of everything has been summarized from one spectrum to the other, hence why I love the 'paug, good work fellas.

On the serious MJ tip, when I was 10, 11, 12 MJ was the shit.  Pepsi commercials, even if you saw him on tv for 5 sec. it was electrifying(this was during Thriller and subsequent J5 reunion).  My younger sister had 5 or 6 MJ posters, when his appearance was that of a young afro-american instead of the strange plastic southern- californian mutant he became.(now listening to The Way You Make Me Feel)
The ABC Jackson 5 movie was very insightful and very tragic.  MJ was so fucking huge all over the globe.  I'm sure nearly every women in Japan lost their shit when they heard.  

bottom line, MJ was a very reflection of US culture, innovative musician and artist but one who had a lot of snakes in his grass.(now listening to Remember The Time - cool vid)  He will go down as a musical hero and genius but remembered for his personal tragedies as well.  Either way his music will live on and I'll be listening.


edit - Eddie V's solo in Beat It is fucking sweet.

changing subject, slightly, I was reminded that today is also the 30th anniversary of the passing of Lowell George. If you want to hear a mixture of dirt, grit funk, and whatever else you want to call it, check this out

If this was some conservative ass hat you'd be doing the same thing.  It's a joke, lighten up dude.

a. It's not funny or even particularly clever.

b. Show me where I've made jokes about a recently deceased "ass hat".

I'd bet good money the day Reagen died, you were smiling.  I'm not saying it is a good joke either, just the fact that it was a joke.

I sure as fuck didn't post a lame ass joke in an RIP thread you can bank on that. 

Also I knew it was a joke, don't insult my intelligence.

I'm not insulting your intelligence, I'm only saying, you and a few other have this untouchable vibe right now that's silly.  Not everyone is going to regard Jackson like you do, and so you shouldn't apply this standard of respect that you seem to think every person should hold.
