Michael Jackson Has Beat It
The King of Pop and my personal hero, Michael Jackson, has died today. He suffered a cardiac arrest and was dead upon the arrival of paramedics at his Holmby Hills home in L.A. He was rushed to UCLA Medical Center, but was unable to be revived.
Words seem inadequate to eulogize the man who wrote “Billie Jean,” “PYT” and “Thriller.” His later music got a bad rap, so to speak, but perhaps that was a function of his controversial personal life. In this country you are innocent until proven guilty, and at this time of grief and heightened discussion of Michael’s career, it is important to remember that he was never convicted of molestation. Would Liza Minelli, Elizabeth Taylor and Macaulay Culkin really be friends with a sexual predator? Let’s get real here.
Last week Ed McMahon, today Farrah and Michael. Star Search must be recruiting in heaven. Rest in peace, Michael. We love you.

I knew this day would come. I just that I’d be 40 something, forcing my children to listen to Thirller, and trying to explain to them how every bubblegum pop song they were listening to could be traced back to Michael.
At least Chris Tucker lives. The moonwalk will never die.
