Wow! You know you've missed something spectacular when there is a huge reaction to someone's death...and you're sitting there quietly wondering what the fuss is all about...and what a moonwalk is.

Thank heaven someone invented YouTube! Billie Jean, Motown 25, 1983

I used to roll my eyes at the name "Michael Jackson". I'm afraid the media had done it's damage as far I was concerned, but NO LONGER! Jackson hit the top five in my list of favourite artists with just that one video! For the past few days, I have gotten absolutely nothing done...except discovering a legend of my generation that I managed to miss completely! Damn!

_{Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars. Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, "I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight," people would say, "Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a damn word that comes out of his mouth."
