Michael Jackson 1958-2009


Michael Jackson died yesterday at age 50 of cardiac arrest.

There is not much I can say that hasn't already been said in everyone's facebook statuses over the past 24 hours. However, what I can say is that I feel tremendous sadness that he is gone.

Bubbles, elephant man bones, Culkin molestation, Princeparisblanket aside, MJ was the king of pop and arguably one of the best entertainers of the past century or any century.

I remember MJ coming into my radar when Black and White was all over the radio and truly loving his performance as Scarecrow in horribly misguided, but surprisingly watchable, The Wiz.

It is sad.

RIP
