it really was a big part of the soundtrack of my adolescence
And not just that -- I remember the Jackson Five from childhood, as a performing group and as an animated show, for heaven's sake.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I was in, what, sixth grade, I guess. Loved it then, but the whole child molestation thing, well, I don't want to say "tainted" because that's too serious...let's say put "guilty" in "guilty pleasure", though.

The only coverage I can get is tvguide, all networks are on their reg programming and I do not have the cable.
Who are the cable channels dragging out for comments? Anyone get adam lambert yet? Anyone heard a statement from anyone in the family yet? Diana? Quincey? I just heard a john landis statement.

Art Crawl!!!
I watched the cartoon when I was a kid. I remember the song "Ben" from when I was in, I think, 6th grade.

I must bE alone in my indifference to Michael Jackson's death. He was too creepy for me to like.
Nope. I have been pretty indifferent to MJ most of my life.
I liked the Jackson 5...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Huh. Well, I'm wrong as fuck. This is why I don't work for CNN.
I hear Fox could probably use me, though.

“Not dead yet!”
Quincey?
"For Michael to be taken away from us so suddenly at such a young age, I just don't have the words," said Quincy Jones, who produced "Thriller." "He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I've lost my little brother today, and part of my soul has gone with him."
