I bet Flava would be great in a crisis. He would cuddle with you, and maybe whip up some drinks, and some snacks.
And he would have told you not to call an ambulance, because a cab would come quicker. 911 is a joke.

I saw people commenting last night about playing Bille Jean, Thriller, and Beat It on their Fisher Price record players... that made me smile; I had one too and did the same thing.

When Thriller premiered, my folks watched it with me because they were worried it would freak me out (it did) but I soldiered through it because... it was Michael Jackson, and you just HAD to.
Oh, 80's.

Remember those videos of people fainting at his concerts? Can artists today even evoke this kind of response on an international level, I mean even singing live seems like a chore these days and concerts aren't the dazzling spectacular event they used to be. It makes you wonder about the state of the music industry today.

My Dad explained that to me it probably feels a little like he did when John Lennon was murdered. He was a little younger than I am now, and was devastated because JL and the Beatles had been famous before he was born and all throughout his childhood and young adulthood. He'd never known JL not to be an icon, not to be culturally relevant and suddenly he was just dead, and relatively young to boot. Granted Lennon was murdered, and was younger than MJ was, but I see his meaning.
I can see why some folks aren't saddened or particularly interested that MJ died, but I also think its okay for those of us who are shocked and do care to pay tribute to the man he was, the entertainer he was. I think you can separate the two. I feel terribly sorry for MJ. I was never one to poke fun at him, and I always watched the stories about him on the news with horror. It seemed to me taht from childhood on he was on a constant struggle to find just a little happioness, and who knows if he ever succeeded. He neglected his body, tortured his face, had disappointing personal relationships, and lost touch with reality. In the end he was selling off everything that was important to him just to pay bills. When I think of all the things I read about his horrible childhood and how neglected and abused he was, I just want to cry. He grew up a cash cow and died very poor, and ridiculed. The least I can do is jam out to Billie Jean this weekend in tribute to the guy, who defined my childhood.
