[kj] Michael Jackson dead

[Bette Dillinger]

It certainly is dark in its humour.

>From Popbitch:

 
"A friend of mine was in Los Angeles 79 thru 87.
   Michael Jackson had had a huge hit with Off The
   Wall, and was recording the follow up.
 
   "The sessions were arranged for a very late start,
   and, after a night on the town, my mate popped
   around to the studio to see the producer.
 
   "He got into the control room to find that
   everyone's attention was fixed on the glass
   window. On the other side, Quincy Jones was kicking
   a pile of rags on the floor while shouting
   "Silent, you motherfucker! I said NO SQUEAKS!"
 
   "It turned out the pile of rags was a gibbering
   Michael Jackson. They were recording a new song
   called Billie Jean, and Michael had decided
   to fill every gap with his trademark whoops,
   clicks and squeaks. Quincy, however, had decided
   that the track would be a pared down.
 
   "After several hours of trying to get the
   singer to do what he wanted, and having consumed
   large quantities of ragedust, Jones had finally
   snapped and attacked the poor freak. Needless
   to say, after the outburst, MJ sang the song
   how he was told to, and the rest is history."

I knew he wouldn’t do any of those 50 dates!  But I didn’t think the reason would be that he’d died.  Weird.
 
I didn’t hear about it until this morning.  I had a dream last night that I was doing the moonwalk - and that’s not exactly a common theme in my dreams.  Spooky.  Ooooo….
 
I also thought he was simply an easy target – a fucked up oddball tortured by himself and his own skin.  Will we ever know for sure?  
 
Billie Jean is still a fucking great slice of pop, no matter what.
