| What a cool guy. |
Presale for Cirque Du Soleil's new "Immortal" Michael Jackson tribute show has begun. The awesomeness they did with the Beatles' LOVE show will almost certainly be rivaled.
A new album of Michael Jackson songs, entitled Michael, will be released on December 14th. Are we graverobbing at this point? Would Michael Jackson's ALIVE movie have been a success at all if he was still alive? Here's the cover:
And last but not least, DJ Mars One has made a bangin' Michael Jackson (is that redundant?) mix called Who's Bad. I believe it to be chronologically correct, and its got all your favorites. I got it from the LifeIsAParty mailing list, and after you join up Grab it here!
So, Volcano Citizens, I propose a question to you: Does our culture excuse 'genius'? Michael Jackson may or may not have invited children to his home for merry-go-rounds, treeclimbing and fellatio. I personally doubt it because children are easily malleable and false memories can be incepted, but certainly the accusations plagued him for the rest of his days. Yet, people still bought his albums and went to see him live. I say the same of Roman Polanski, who was charged with the rape of a 13 year old girl but still enjoys the celebrity of such landmark award-winning films of Chinatown and The Pianist. And brilliant orator Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990, but his talk show is first in the nation! Do we just glass over the horrible aspects of our most cherished minds? Or is it something that comes with or perhaps from the genius? Did Einstein eat his neighbors' cats? Did Leonardo masturbate to the Teletubbies, or would he if he were alive today? We live in a strange world, everybody. At least we have the beautiful music of Michael Jackson to keep us company.
