like him or hate him -MJ had an enormous impact on global culture. i honestly don't own a single album of his and have always thought the rumors about him were pretty disgusting - but he was never convicted of anything untoward and his music literally shaped a global generation - the man was a musical genius whatever else you think of him

ON a side note I always like Adolf's artwork:

Totally Agree.

Last night to cherish the memory lane once more, I borrowed the Michale Jackson History on Film Vol. 2 dvd from my elder bro's personal collection & watched the Side One contents...

• MJ's unforgettable performance (with one of the best ever moonwalk) at 1995 MTV Video Music Awards,
• Billie Jean-Motown performance
• and the complete music videos of Beat It, Thriller, Liberian Girl and Smooth Criminal.

...Still absolutely mesmerizing....mind blowing to watch!! He was...is and will be the one & only King of Pop in the world. He created his own empire music which no damn controversy can shake a bit in coming years.

once again...R.I.P MJ.

Now Billy Mays died! Jesus, they're dropping like flies this month.

LOL@damn controversy

Very sad day - RIP Billy Mays.

My band actually wrote a song about this guy...

RIP indeed.

I'd love to hear that song, by the way.

Ditto!!
At least post the lyrics?

Funny story. I convinced my brother years ago that Billy Mays was dead. The guy was my brother's hero, and I though it would be funny to tell him Mays died. Needless to say, my little bro is a little confused today hearing the news.
