There are a lot of things I do not understand in this world, and one of the ones that haunts me every day is.. what happened to MIchael Jackson. Seriously, what went wrong there? I am going to ignore the fact that he looked like an skin cancer spokesperson/ alien from planet ugly during the last years of his life, and focus on why we all love him.. the music. If he didn't crack up, MIchael Jackson would still be making some of the best music of our generation. Even as a freak of (well i dont want to say nature because it was so un-natural) other worldly-ness, he was one of the top selling artists in history. His songs have to impact to change the way you feel about dancing. I don't think anyone can listen to "Don't stop till you get enough" without some kind of body movement. I personally desire to stand on tables and hip thrust when I listen to that song. There are many people in history that give off those "I'm too cool for school" vibes. Michael Jackson (pre meltdown) had them just leaking out of his pores. The way he moved, spoke, even just stood there was epic. I wish deep in my heart that he was still alive and sane and making me feel like dancing, but I guess I will just have to listen to all the beloved classics and be near tables so I can enjoy him. Watch the video below if you think I underestimate his "bitchin" factor.
