There was a gap in my life, but I aim to fill it. A need for a creative outlet. I haven't written in so long, it is disturbing. So, what is a C$ to do? Get back on the horse and gets to riding. So, without further ado...

MJ. Poor, poor MJ. I don't know about the rest of you, but I spent much of my 1983 and 1984 dancing in my living room to 'Billie Jean' off of Thriller. Hell, I even loved the goofy duet of 'The Girl is Mine' with Paul McCartney. There was simply no music that even came close to the music found on Thriller. And I think the argument could be made that there still hasn't been anything that comese close. Thriller just may be the pinnacle of pop and I, for one, will miss the King. Sure, he was freaky and white even though he was really black and had WAY too many plastic surgeries, but c'mon, when you are known in every corner of the world and your steel-working Pa beat the crap out of you, you are going to be a bit odd. MJ was an incredible artist and Off the Wall and Thriller are masterpieces. Simple and plain.

So, please take a few minutes and dwell on the true loss of MJ. Still don't believe me? Check out his performance on Motown 25. It doesn't get cooler than that.Here is 'Rock with You' and 'The Lady in My Life' - say what you want, nobody understood a groove like MJ.
