I only "became aware" of Jackson after he was bat-shit-crazy and didn't really get on that Crazy Train.<br /><br />He's been so crazy for so long now that I don't have the energy to care. Even when people gasp at that scene of him hanging is infant son over the railing...I "meh" over it.<br /><br />And honestly, this comes as little surprise. Beyond all the plastic surgery etc, I saw a clip of him on TV a couple months ago and he look ghastly sickly (can I do two adjectives in a row?)Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279955898157414695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12356456.post-62910655363772796422009-06-26T08:16:16.146-04:002009-06-26T08:16:16.146-04:00Nice clip. But you know what's weird? He did...Nice clip. But you know what's weird? He didn't sing that, as "The Simpsons" writers admit on the DVD commentary. He had a soundalike come in to do the song, while he only did the voice acting (credited as "John Jay Smith"). Basically, he was a freak from day one.<br /><br />The best (worst) part of CNN's "coverage" of this was their interview of some assclown from TMZ.com, who was disingenuously calling him an incredible genius, when you know 5 minutes before he heard he was dead he was calling him a boy-touching weirdo. If it wasn't for the "gossip industry" hounding him incessantly for the last couple of decades, he might have lived a little longer. Well done, shitdicks!<br /><br />Regardless, whether you liked him or not, the guy could sing; his first two album are nearly perfect pop records. In fact, just a few days ago I semi-illegally DLed them for the hell of it (from g2p.org); I think the lack of royalties may have contributed to his death.Jeff Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374266932485360115noreply@blogger.com
