I was never really a major fan of Michael Jackson and his music, but one does have to admire his and Quincy Jones’ craftsmanship on MJ’s first three albums. His death left me more bewildered than anything, his death caused more grief than I would have expected, meaning he must have made a certain (even if small) impact on my life and music preferences; not so much more as many others whom I have sympathy for.

I’ll only end with saying that the true villains since the creation of papyrus and television is the media.
