Talk Of Jacko's Death ... Ch - Ching!

Poor old Jacko eh! It’s gonna be one of them moments like “where were you when Kennedy was shot” or “where were you when Diana was killed”. Personally I was at home with my missus pissing myself at the two million text messages I was receiving (you’ve probably seen them all now anyway) but how ironic that the proposed tour he planned (and ripped people off with) was called ‘The Farewell Tour’. Scary! But, and I’m being brutally honest here with my hand seriously on my heart, he was a true talent in music with some absolutely timeless tracks and two of the most stunning albums we will ever hear in our lives (Off The Wall & Thriller) When I was a kid I was brought up on what ever music my two (much) older sisters were listening to at the time (Marvyn Gaye, Michael Jackson, Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, etc, etc) so you tend to remember the songs such as the brilliant ‘Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough’, ‘Thriller’ & ‘Billie Jean’ so much more than the rest. They were the Michael Jackson’s songs that particularly stuck in my head. Mainly the songs from Off The Wall being the true classics that I loved, but you do have to say that he never really made a bad song (pardon the pun) On the night of Jacko’s death, before I went to bed I watched the news channels to get some reaction to his death and during the space of twenty minutes Uri Gellar had managed to speak to Sky News, BBC News 24 & Radio Five Live. All interviews contained exactly the same comments from the spoon bending extraordinaire ranging from “I can’t imagine a world without Michael Jackson” or “Michael Was an amazing, inspirational, loving, gentle figure”. What utter fucking crap! Trevor Nelson also waded in with his fare share with a rather fitting tribute for what Jacko had done for Black music. He then mentioned white music and apologised!! WTF? Why on earth anyone would want to apologise for mentioning white music is way beyond me! But my main point is this: has anyone else noticed that when these famous people are alive some people who swim in the media circles do nothing but slag them off and call them all the twats under the sun? In Jacko’s case you only have to look at all the shit he had with the child abuse cases and allegations (personally I didn’t buy any of it as I thought he was just a big kid who prefered the company of kids instead of adults to be honest) but, as soon as anyone who has the fame of Jacko snuffs it they are instantly turned into saints and totally exonerated of all ‘crimes’ in their past by these two-faced ‘celebrities’!!! So prepare the world for bad news. And no, it’s not that Michael Jackson, one of the worlds most amazing performers, has died, it’s that the world (and the news networks) will now be flooded with tonnes of ‘celebrities’ waxing lyrical about Jacko and well and truly putting themselves (and their egos) back into the media spot light to help their failing careers. Katie & Peter reunion for Jacko’s funeral in Hello magazine special?

Your bet your bollocks it is!!

PS - Jacko - RIP
