(Dangerous (Epic) was probably my favorite album of his. Yes, that is weird; for what it's worth, my favorite U2 album is Zooropa or Pop (Island), although, in general, I quite loathe U2.)Many instant messages, &c. have been going around about this until I realized, wait a second, I have a music 'blog--I could mention this there!
It's interesting how long it's taking the mainstream media outlets, e.g., CNN, to pick up this story--TMZ is a quality news source after all!
Celebrity deaths tend to happen in threes, they say: Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Mark Sanford's political career. (Also occurring in threes are NBA superstar trades: Richard Jefferson, Shaquille O'Neal and Vince Carter. Actually, I don't know if Jefferson counts as a "superstar"--that might be just 2½--but I hear a McGrady deal is in the works.)
Okay, there it is--CNN has picked this up, ~an hour later.
Michael Jackson is molesting young boys in heaven now.
