Michael Jackson – The King of Pop

Posted by: heath In: Life and Death| Music

I have written many things about Michael Jackson over the years, even including him in the dedication to one of my books.

He changed the face of the entertainment industry in uncountable ways – and then spent the rest of his life being slowly crucified.

I will always remember roller skating to the Thriller video, and I remember when it premiered and they showed the whole video at Sportsworld skating rink in Raleigh, NC.

It’s a sad thought that just as he was about to reclaim some of that greatness, he was gone. Who knows what caused it – there is already speculation that it could have been a drug overdose like Anna-Nicole Smith. It doesn’t matter the cause, it’s just sad and shocking.

So here I present to you some of the things I’ve written about him over the years.

December 15, 2005 – Music Makes a People Come Together (the most read post on this blog)

January 2, 2007 – Michael Jackson’s Wedding

May 30, 2007 – The Shadow of Michael Jackson (this was just a quick joke)

April 23, 2008 – I mentioned him in the dedication of Homo sarcasmus – Best of the Blog Volume 1.0

You will be missed.

I agree – and it’s sounding like he really did go out like Elvis, which was the thing he didn’t want to have happen.

Interesting comments about Michael Jackson. I just want to add how sad Jackson’s sudden death is. He was truly original and will be the ‘King of Pop’ for a long time to come.

Very original and there won’t be another star quite like him. Probably a lot of copy-cats, but never another MJ. He really did make his mark – and got a lot of other groups inspired…so in that regard I think he has a wonderful legacy.



  • heath: Oh Tommy...your comments mirror those of the Dawg as well. They thought Lee's voice was too big for the song. I don't think it was too big, but I can
  • Tommy Marx: Gotta disagree with you on this one sweetie. Yes, Crystal and Siobhan were definitely the best of the women, and while I didn't like the song he sang,
  • heath: Glad we're on the same page regarding Lee ;-). Otherwise, I'm really bored this year. I was hoping that we'd have another big personality like Adam L
