First off, 5 Guys Burgers? Massively overpriced and overrated. $10.52 for a soggy, greasy burger and fries? Fuck you.
Secondly, Michael Jackson? Sorry, don't care. The man hasn't been relevant is over 15 years and the last time he was, it was because of the technology used in a video, not him. When was the last time he was anything more than a joke? He's the next fat Elvis.
Yes, he was the last great pop king and there will never be another like him, but you know what, he stopped being that king at the end after Dangerous, which was nearly 20 years ago, and that's without getting into the mess of his personal life. And if you want to get into his personal life then it's even less of a loss. Being found not guilty doesn't mean you're innocent. No one has a secret kiddie bedroom just for giggles. And the peter pan syndrome was just bullshit, like all the other lies he told, that grew over time. Jackson was a shrewd businessman and knew what he was doing at all times, anyone who claims otherwise is deluding themselves. If you want to separate the man from the music that's fine. But the music continues even after the man is gone then. It's sad when anyone dies, especially a young person with very young children. But let's not kid ourselves, it's no national tragedy.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled bliss and happiness and apologize if the sudden increase in spite has ruined your day in anyway. |
