RIP Moonwalker

Dear Reader,
I'm sorry to say that the post you are looking at now is extremely unpleasant. It tells an happy tale about the death of one of pop's most beloved superstars. Even though he was charming and wonderful, Michael Jackson's life was full of troubles and strife. From the very first page of this post when I describe his music, continuing on through the entire post, there's magic on every corner. One might say he was a magnet for good fortune.
In this post alone, this describes the life and times of the late pop legend Michael Joseph Jackson, a man who's known for his music, dancing, and eccentric but charming nature.


It is my sad duty to write down this unpleasant tale, but there is nothing stopping you from pressing the back button at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.
With all due respect, Dr Music.



I appologise for the rather sad introduction but today is a rather good day to be sad and here's why....yesterday, legendary popstar Michael Joseph Jackson died of a cardiac arrest. That's right, the king of pop has passed away, as of yesterday he is deceased...a word which here means..."pushing up daisies". Michael was famous for many things but mainly for his music and dancing. His 1982 album Thriller became one of the best selling albums of all time. Even now the title song can be heard being played at halloween parties. Michael was an inspiration to us all. No matter what people said about him, he always managed to look on the bright side. It was a very sad day for fans everywhere when he died.

Michael's dancing was special- supernatural in fact. Michael was a gifted dancer as well as a brilliant singer. His soothing angelic voice and graceful gravity defying dance moves were remarkable- a word which here means..."simply flawless and magnificent".

Michael was adored by lots of people despite the fact he was some what eccentric. Michael loved children and animals. He was a real life Willy Wonka. Which is probably why Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy in Tim Burton's Charlie And The Chocolate Factory was based on him.

So in today's post, we honour this late great pop legend. We'll be paying tribute to him in our own special way.

Michael was unique, kind of like Uniqua from the Backyardigans. Michael will live on forever in our hearts.

R.I.P Michael, you truly were magnifcent. Also, when you get to Heaven, tell John Candy we said hi.

  1. Yeah, Doc, Alan and I will miss him too. In fact, on our first date way back in 1999, he popped a worn-out cassette of the "Thriller" album into the stereo in his completely wasted, California Highway Patrol-surplus Mustang and we hauled a-s-s and made out at the same time to the tune of "Billie Jean", "Thriller" and everything else on the tape. We actually had the DJ play "Billie Jean" at our wedding.

  2. That's a great story Andria. Whenever me and my brother are working on an invention or a new film/tv show we use Michael's music as inspiration.
