7/9 – "Michael Jackson shoulda recorded Thriller around 2001"

9 Jul

I must say, I’m pretty much Michael Jackson’d out at this point, and the main reason I haven’t blogged about his death, is because I’ve spent enough time both conversing about it in person, and on Facebook.  I loved his music, and felt really sad for the man because of a lot of the unfortunate things he’s had to deal with in his life.

However, I have a real problem mourning him as a hero, considering he once dangled a child off of a balcony.  Also, although never 100% proven, I have a problem mourning a man as a hero who in my mind was very likely a child molester.

Enough of that though.  All I really wanted to point out was this:

Look at this Thriller pic.

Now look at this pic of MJ some 15 years later.

Does anyone else find it ironic that Jackson ended up looking LESS scary when he was making a conscious decision to look scarier?
