Michael Jackson Died, Guys
rynne:
I think it's a bit grotesque how Michael Jackson dies and within hours he's returned to people's minds as the greatest pop star ever.
Yes, he was the biggest pop star ever. It's really impossible to argue that. The legacy of his early solo career is massive and should be celebrated. But honestly, his peak was over decades ago. For most of the 90s and 00s, he's been more a curiosity or an object of ridicule than a musician. Where was everyone lauding his legacy last year, or last month?
He died and that's a shame. It's a shame when anyone who's brought something great into this world dies. But dying didn't make him a different person than the one who's been largely irrelevant for years, except as a constant source of tabloid fodder.

Be nice, the new king of pop is kinda a douchebag.

This is a joke, right?
In other news, hearing that the dude who made the first abuse allegations against him has come out and said that his dad made him make them made me feel really sorry for the poor guy and all the shit he has gotten and the fact that he will probably still be remembered that way.

^ Oh hey where did you hear that?

The guy was a cultural icon, whose music is recognized by virtually everyone. I'm not saying the protests are unimportant. I just think it is totally, totally obvious why his death is taking precedent in headlines.

10/10 would rage again you fucking prick.
EDIT: This post is bound to generate hostility, but fuck it, if it was a joke it was not obvious enough and if this guy is serious I am taking this thread to Cuba. Sorry, MJ.
