Jeremiah Tucker: Jackson's music still matters
Some people think, however, that his at times ghastly lifestyle should be what is remembered, not his music, and have expressed outrage at the mostly reverent coverage of his death. Such reactions strike me as ungenerous and childish. We’re not babies. We’re all capable of recognizing that the same person who created music that brought happiness to millions was also a walking horror show.
Only I think the fact that most of us decided the music and the happiness mattered more in the end is evidence that as a society were not yet completely desensitized parasites that feed on misery.
Eventual biopic
Oh man. Can you imagine this thing? CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE?
I nominate David Lynch for the director. He’s perhaps the only one capable of making a movie weird enough to even come close to mirroring the real nightmare that was Michael Jackson’s life.
