Who cares?

Since my friend was surprised I hadn't mentioned him, I will...
Michael Jackson died. WOW...so sad... Not really, I could care less.
People are shocked at my lack of care about it. At work they were surprised I didn't even like him. I never did. I remember when his Thriller video was out and everyone loved him. I didn't care for his music then, nor do I now. Guess it all feeds into my lack of liking anything pop-y or my needing the heavy thrashing noises I listen to.

I did find his death interesting though. I'm curious to know if we will finally learn why his nose became so small, his skin so white, and his chin made to look like an ass. Will they decay? If he's entombed, will his skin even shrink?

Another funny piece of this whole story was my nephew. He's 16. He didn't even know Michael Jackson was black, or that Janet was his sister. Hahahahahaha

Tisk tisk tisk. Even if MJ wasn't your "style" you can't deny that he was an unbelievably talented performer with a huge impact on the world. Not saying the media isn't out of control with all the hoopla but come on. I know you always like to be on the opposing end of society but have some respect for the King of Pop! :P

He was made so by society, that's my point. I never enjoyed his music, so in my mind, he isn't any king. Just a weirdo idolized by the throngs.
