"Billie Jean is not my lover..."
...apparently, for Michael Jackson, little kids are. Kyle makes a good point that ANY parent who would let a child hang out with pop music's resident freak must be after a multi-million dollar settlement. Whatever the case, this whole thing is so weird. In the 80s Michael looked (relatively) normal and was accepted as some kind of a ladies' man. Maybe when his hair caught fire, it burned his brain. He's not black, he's not white...he's got a face like a poorly-colorized black and white film. He has no nose. He talks like a girl. His mannerisms are almost inhuman. I think he was PERFECTLY cast in Men in Black 2 as an alien. I just want to know what went wrogn with him? Did he go "loco?" It's like he's aging backwards...but inhumanly.
Integrity...we just dealt with this in Daniel. And no matter how many records M.J. has sold...no matter how much musical talent he still has...his mark in history will be one more of scandal than musical success (which is mind-boggling since his musical success has been incredible in the past).
-sigh- Who's next to take a hard fall alongside Michael, Kobe, Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown, and countless others? Hose monkeys.
On a better note, Stacey's out this morning touring a pharmacy in scottsboro (?) or some podunk location in Alabama. She's considering another job in the spring that will give her better hours and better benefits...that would be nice.
I discovered a great song/band recently. Ironically, I finished Max Payne 2 on the PC and the song in the "end credits" was awesome. The song is a very melancholy song called "Late Goodbye," by Poets of the Fall...a band that hasn't even signed a label yet (or has any albums for sale). I'm intrigued by their sound, which is a cool mix of acoustic guitars, great vocal harmonies, drums, bass, and orchestral additions. Plus, in the spirit of John Mayer and others, the band seems like a group of true songwriters (even if their style's pretty unique). I love finding bands that actually put some effort into their lyrics and how the whole song weaves together. Hmmm...must experiment with that sound...
Band practice tonight...WOOHOO! Working on a new song, "I Can Only Imagine." It's popular with certain crowds, so I hope we pull it off okay.
Well, back to practicing...
