RIP Michael Jackson

[Celestry]

My feeling is that he was a supremely talented lunatic. Do I lament at his passing? Not for a second. I see a photo of demented, white African-American, holding a white baby from a hotel window (Point = Baby, his or not?) that remained in his care after the event!! Too much benefit of the doubt, for my liking! (>_<)

His music is classic, and yet when I hear it, I do not consider the man who sang the songs, as they have transcended him. Should I be hearing those songs more often now that he is dead? Nope. Should we honour his influence on the music industry? We already had, years ago, with the purchase of LP after LP when we found his material worthy.

The news: Please, replace the Wacko Jacko focus with some study on the demographics of western troops serving in foreign wars zones, I would be interested in that. Perhaps a report describing the differences between the mentality of cultures of those that follow monotheistic religious doctrine and those that follow polytheistic religious doctrine, and the affect on solidarity? LOLZ! (^_^)
