TOP 10 MICHAEL JACKSON MOMENTS

By james | Published: June 26, 2009

call him what you like(and many have in many different ways)…the star of the show has bowed out…the king of pop…the self confessed “loneliest man in the world” has chosen to moonwalk to a better place…

and I find myself feeling oddly numb…Michael was the steadfast tin of beans in your cupboard…always in the corner at the back somewhere when not taking centre stage on your plate…palatable but never given to mates when they called round…and that’s not much of a eulogy I know…comparing this icon to a tin of beans…but i protest…Michael was just like one of those indelible household brands…just like Heinz or Cambells or coca cola…something you might not miss until it was gone… I was never the biggest fan and I am not about to wax lyrical about genius this and genius that…but beyond a shadow and nary a doubt in my mind he was a talented man..,troubled and haunted? true enough…by the bastaring press that plagued him like rot worms for a snap of his ever pinching nose…i felt sorry for the man and still do…hes was the ultimate sacrifice for fame…he gave his life for it…and many millions loved him for it in return…

many more rejoiced in his increasingly zany behaviour including dangling wee babies over balconies and sleeping with monkeys…but you know…that was his life…a stage..a circus…a come through the curtains and a sneak and a peak at the elephant man…the curious oddball….look at him…in all the horror of his non standard behaviour…his non standard friends and his non standard house…his non standard family and his non standard wives….well fuck you…who wants to be standard?…..somewhere Michael dances eternal…and could give two hoots about what we mortals think of him….playing the weird medley of peter pan, the lost child and the tears of a clown he dances there in peace…far from the flash of the camera and the scald of the cynical pen…(and a few pending civil cases no doubt)….forever more and in peace…we bid him farewell

R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON – 08/29/1958 – 06/25/2009

TOP 10 WORST COVER SONGS EVER!

By james | Published: June 18, 2009

(* adopts David Attenborough voice) we must study these monkeys, their habitats and why they choose to shit all over the things we cherish most

…and no..amazingly theyre not all dead…such is the resilience of the fine female form to cope with the crushing pressures of super rock stardom…the guys tend to favour the “better to burn out than fade away” route…the girls favour the “no id prefer not to have blood alcohol level at 40% and drown in a sea of my own stomach bile”…
