R.I.P.

And yeah, I've got a copy of Thriller, on vinyl. Two copies actually, because you had to have the picture disc (remember those?). Thinking of him now, I recall a time before the Internet when stardom and celebrity required talent, not merely the willingness to do anything and everything in public. Today we are left with crass "superstars" who have his shortcomings, but none of the talent and musical joy that he brought to the world. May he rest in peace. His obituary from The New York Times. |

I am really sorry to hear of his passing....as they say, way too young. I will be spinning his "Thriller" SACD tonight. I hope your pain is finally over, MJ. RIP. |
