My views on the death of Michael Jackson may piss some folks off. These are my opinions and in no way reflect the opinions of the station or management.

Thriller was one of the few albums I purchased.
i think it is definitely over-publicised. Let the man rest in peace

...and regarding 'his' children, according to that long ass Michael Jackson news report tonight, all 3 children were conceived using a sperm doner, so he has no actual DNA connection to any of the children. He had them created for his enjoyment, much like you would have custom suit made. And dangling your kid off a balcony and making them wear mardi gras masks in public, and gawd knows what in private, doesn't sound to me like 'the best childhood he could...'

That said, I can still remember the first time I saw Thriller at a bar and we all were amazed that a music video could be "like that."
And earlier, I remember watching the film Willard and the Ben song made me cry.
Earlier than that, I remember ABC and the Jacksons version of Rockin Robin. I liked Donny Osmond better. Probably because he was white, though I couldn't have said that then. "Go Away Little Girl" was chosen over a Jacksons 45 as my first record.
So there you have it. I'm sorry he never got help. He was a talented guy.
Cheers.

I was given the 'Ben' album as a gift. Imagine that. LOL. It is still around here somewhere.

I do hate the whole obsession with celebrities that reaches a point where celebrity news is reported as genuine news of consequence. Unless, of course, it is an obsession with me and my own celbrity. That's entirely different...
