Michael Jackson RIP Page 8
Quote: Baumski @ June 26 2009, 9:22 AM BSTNobody should blame themselves for the death of Michael Jackson when we all know it was the boogie.
To be fair, Baumski got there first.

I wish I could take credit for that one.

Well I read yours before anyone else's so you can have the credit from me
Quote: Bad dog @ June 26 2009, 10:15 AM BSTIn all honesty, I couldn't name a Michael Jackson song.
Say what? How is that even possible? Fan or not, I'm sure most would be able to name some of his songs! I'm afraid I can't believe that for a second!
Plus until the autopsy we don't know the exact cause of death. Just like a few weeks ago we thought David Carradine had suffocated whilst having a wank in a cupboard whereas he was actually murdered. Possibly.

I was with my boyfriend Billy, and had literally just taken off his jeans - when we heard the news. Now that's timing.

But of course you can.

As a moderator... I am officially calling you a tit.

Yey! Thanks!
Another one passes:
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Sky Saxon, lead singer and founder of the 1960s band the "Seeds," who had a Top 40 hit in 1967 with "Pushin' Too Hard," has died after a brief illness.
Publicist Jen Marchand said Saxon died Thursday but did not have other details. He was in his 60s.
The Seeds sprang up in California, and their garage-band sound with Saxon's distinctive vocals became a favourite of the flower power generation. Another hit single of 1967 was "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" and their song "Mr. Farmer" was included in the soundtrack for the movie "Almost Famous."
The Mick Jagger-influenced vocals by Saxon (born Richard Marsh) dominated the sound and in turn influenced later punk rockers.
"All the bikers around San Diego thought the Seeds were apocalypse, then," famed rock critic Lester Bangs wrote in "The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock & Roll." "I recall one hog-ridin' couple ... who didn't take the Seeds' first album off their turntable for three solid months."
Saxon had recently moved to Austin, where he played with his new band, Shapes Have Fangs.
He had been planning to perform this summer with the California '66 Revue, a tour featuring a lineup of California bands from the 1960s.

No, I think it's true. Er, Moonwalk? That could be a song, an album, or even what he did.
I liked Bad. And didn't Martin Scorcese direct the video of that?
Music aside, does anyone think Michael Jackson was any better than Gary Glitter or was he just lucky to get away with it, I wonder.

Then you have led a truely bizzare and sheltered life, seemingly never having watched TV, listened to a radio, bought a newspaper and actually read it, etc, etc! Sorry, but that is plain odd.

Glitter was a one trick pony. Jackson had talent, although he did spunk it up the wall in the last decade and a half.
Don't know about the other stuff. Jacko seemed curiously asexual, and I imagine him naked with no genitals, like an Action Man.
