Michael Jackson is dead.

[Jester]

Ok, superstar. And, a pop icon, and he used to be entertaining back in the day. I'm not sure of lately, because he seemed like kind of a freak show at the end.

I was one of the few American's who didn't buy Thriller, or actually any MJ album. :) I think I was listening to Bach: The Goldberg Variations. Actually, seriously, in 1982 I would have been more into Fleetwood Mac, Vangelis, Who, and The Clash. Anything not remotely like disco, or country western. I was also in college, discovering bands I had been clueless about like Jefferson Airplane, Talking Heads, B52's, Violent Femmes, and there was a very talented reggae band in Minneapolis named Ipso Facto, which had me into Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley as well.

Well, in 1982, I would have been months old. But on the whole I like your pics a heck of a lot more than MJ, especially The Who and Talking Heads. Pop always seemed... well, pop-y. Not so much my cup of tea.
