Before I was corrupted by rock n roll, I was an MJ fan! For me he goes down as the most famous case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder that was apparently never diagnosed. It’s not every day a King of Pop dies, so here’s a video of the Jackson 5. And before any hipsters out there laugh, even Henry Rollins has given The Jackson 5 a spin on his radio show!
Michael Jackson Dead at 50

I was a MJ fan back in his 80’s heyday.. even though the past decade or so have been wrought with scandal and insane body modifications… I choose to hold a small place in my heart for the talented little boy from Gary, IN who taught the world to moonwalk like no other!
There’s room for Michael Jackson and Jackson 5 in the record collection that contains Rollins Band/Black Flag and other artists or various genres. MJ was one of the few true mega-megastars. He ruled the stage. His contribution to music, to the performing arts will never be replicated by another. Long live the King.
I think we all grew up with the music of the Jackson 5 . It’s part of our childhood and teenage memories. Michael may have warped his life and body due to his own personal tragedies, but in the end he was still a woman’s son, a brother and his children’s Daddy.
May he finally find the peace that always eluded him.
