The Phoenix Riseth
Wednesday, July 1st, 2009
Wired is reporting that Michael Jackson is the first artist to reach over 1 million (legitimate) downloads in a single week. Having grown up only knowing the weird, ultra-white Michael Jackson, and only first learning about him because of the molestation cases against him in the early 90’s, I never much paid attention to his music.
I admit I immediately went to the YouTube to check out some Michael Jackson hits upon hearing about his death. I never gave him a second thought as a serious artist as I was growing up. Now after his passing, I see the guy had a set of pipes as a kid and had some great moves as a performer. Too bad no one 26 years and younger could have an untarnished memory of a very strange fellow.
Rest in Peace, crazy man.
