He has now an 25th edition of Thriller coming out.
Was recently on the magazine Ebony.
You like his songs?
Or any comment?
Hugs!!

Jackson will always be famous, and the record-breaking sales of Thriller will endure in the annals of pop-music history, but I very much doubt that Jackson will ever reclaim his former status as the current "King of Pop" (despite the news that the twenty-fifth-anniversary edition of Thriller will include new material) and that any future music from him will be particularly well-received or lucrative. His notoriety for his bizarre personal behavior, including the suspicious interest he displays for children, will doubtlessly continue to overshadow his admittedly genuine talent and apparently enduring professional ambition.
I do continue to enjoy much of Jackson's music, though I do not describe myself as a fan. I think that much of the music from Thriller, including the title track, is overrated, with that same song's music video sadly overshadowing much more artistically accomplished examples of the genre. My favorite Michael Jackson song remains "Rock With You", from 1979's Off the Wall, and I still appreciate much of the earlier music from The Jackson 5.

His current appearance reminds me of the time I saw the head of St. Catherine of Sienna. Scary.

I find that statement odd given recent events, and the seeming uproar over the salacious new items that are flying like shit in front of a fan regarding Mr. Ledger. Are we to cast judgement on anyone we do not see as fitting into our version of normal?

Oh I am full of odd statements....... ;)

Yeah I can verify that for the record........LOL :laugh:
